Cecille's Recipe Corner | | Bean Salad |
Word for the day--food waste.
Food waste is food loss occurring during the retail and final consumption stages due to the behavior of retailers and consumers - i.e., the throwing away of food.
Consumers, meaning you and me. I've learned from my readings and watching many documentaries that we waste tonsa tonsa amount of food daily, making it the third largest waste stream after paper and yard waste. And get this: 27% of that waste is available for consumption; yet, 14.5% (or 1 in every 7) of households are food insecure.
This blows my mind! I won't ramble on the subject; instead, I urge you guys to visit and read Jonathan Bloom's blog. He has a wealth of information regarding this issue (after you finish mine of course). His book, American Wasteland, is a great read.
