So it was with the Star Tribune 6/15/09 Variety edition titled What a Waste.. Here are the facts from the article:
- 50% of our food product are thrown out
- each family member has a couple of pounds of waste a week
- restaurants and buffets account for the rest of the food waste
The solutions
*shop wisely
*follow a meal plan (60% of what is purchased from meals is never made
*shop more frequently
*buy fewer items per trip
*buy locally when possible (2 weeks from growers to super market)
*plan a head- buy for the freezer
* use left overs in meal plans
*compost
*make it a house project to reduce waste
This would be fantastic to add to your cookbook for hints on what to do with your food!
