This is a scary statistic I found in a book I was reading recently. A full quarter of food meant for human consumption in the US is then thrown out. How can we be wasting this much food!! First, it is a huge shame given how many people are starving in the world. Second, it is a huge environmental waste that all this food was grown, processed, delivered and stocked in stores, so tons of exhaust and fumes were created just for it to get thrown out!!
I am working really hard in our house to keep food from going bad - buying new containers for the fridge, marking expiration dates with big black markers etc. It is definitely getting better.
What are the challenges in your home?
