Guest guest Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I liked that someone shared how tossing unwanted food was not wasting it so much as not WAISTing it :-) Thought that was a pretty good point of view. Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hi sue. I know what you mean about food in the refrigerator. If you have to throw it out, don't worry about it. In fact, think of it as the right thing to do if you have to throw it out because you are not eating it. Someone mentioned a while back that they LOVE to throw food out! I found that very empowering.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 That is true at the grocery stores I go to also - MUST go into the trash, can't be donated or even sold 'discounted'. Health regulations probably play a part but its also a business decision - so that the employees can't 'discount' something they shouldn't and pass on a bargain to a friend. So sad that the few that abuse a system end up causing those who don't to suffer in the long run. I'm so for at least allowing a (pig/chicken) farmer take advantage of nearly fresh produce to feed to animals that probably don't get as much fresh foods as would benefit them.

The last I heard, not even to the pigs like they used to. That > might not be accurate though. Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
