Tons of food waste crams landfills, adds to methane gas | Hunger Solutions Minnesota - 0 views

  •  
    It seems that Bloom is a major source when it comes to food waste because this is the second article that quotes him. This article gives statistics and information everyone should be aware of. They also give this great example of how America has a great obesity problem and that they say to chuck away the last few slices of that pizza instead of eating them!! Wrong! maybe we should just not buy the pizza if we do not need to eat it! The examples just show how we don't really think twice before throwing food away.

  •  
    Great tips on how to cut down food waste. Cutting food waste how it helps you make yummy food in the kitchen. The last one is important to read.
  •  
    Original: "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without" is a favorite adage in both frugal and green circles, and it is something I strive to live by. One of the best ways to "use it up" is to think differently about our food and ways to avoid wasting it. Lloyd wrote a great post a while back about the statistics for how much food we waste in the U.S., and the numbers are, frankly, appalling. On average, we waste 14% of our food purchases per year, and the average American family throws out over $600 of fruit per year. Paraphrase: Half the loaf of bread goes stale and the grapes aren't as fresh. With an attitude to stop waste and some creativity, you can create new things with your food before it actually goes bad. Left over roasted vegetable can be made into soup and leftover rice can be added into oatmeal the next morning. There are many more ways to reduce waste in your home.
