So last night I watched a show on the Food Network call the Biggest Waste. It was about all the food that is discarded due to blemishes or not being perfect. They also showed the meats and fish that can not be used because of small inperfections. I found this very sad to watch, be I loved the foods the Bobby F, Michael S, Anne B, and Alex G made.
I find it sad that the food pantry's and soup kitchens in the area do not take the food. I understand there may be liabilty issues, but with the number of homeless and people who have a hard time making ends meat there should be something that can be done.
There was one man on the show who I believe was a freegan, basicly he went through the garbage that was thrown out by stores to see what he could take home to make his meals out of. I found him very interesting. Maybe we need to start looking at what we waste in food on a daily basis. Maybe our parents and grandparents had the right idea in making food and using it from head to tail. Not sure if I could do it, but is something really think about.
