Waste not want not...

As someone who prides herself on hardly throwing ANY food away EVER, I was shocked recently to discover that one third of the food bought in the UK is chucked out EVERY WEEK! How naive of me to think that everyone:

a) works out which days of the week they will be in for dinner - as they have obviously had their social life planned for some weeks ;)

b) plans the meals they'd like to have on those days

c) checks what items they already have in the fridge/freezer/store cupboard

d) writes a list of what food they need to buy before heading to the shops

Then I assumed everyone also:

a) froze any extra portions for another meal or,

b) took them to work for lunch or,

c) fed them to the dog!

So I have added a link to an initiative to try and get people NOT TO WASTE FOOD!

Now I'm off out for dinner with Suzy ;) And I promise to eat it all....
