Love food, hate waste?
The news that Britons throw away a third of their food is a depressing but all-too-believable statistic. We might as well be leaving every third bag of shopping we buy in the supermarket and saving the effort of carrying it home!
But help is at hand with a new nationwide drive from WRAP to cut food waste. Love Food, Hate Waste launched today, offering loads of creative solutions to our growing food-waste mountain. On the website, you'll find tools to help you choose the right amount of food to cook for any number of people (very useful if, like me, you still don't know the correct measurements for rice!), how to keep various foods fresh and at their best and some reminders on why reducing food waste matters. It's a thought-provoking read, and well worth a look.

I work in the foood business and if you think their is a lot of waste personally, you should see how much food companies, not to mention restaurants throw away. WE could easily feed every hungry person with what is tossed out daily. And I am reffering to grade A top notch, high quality food. The single problem is the legal aspects if someone were to get sick, that is what stops corporate America from contributing. Sad but true.

Good to see some of the recipe ideas for using leftovers on the site. Not so long ago that was the norm - with bubble and squeak a regular lunch or meal. What could really help a campaign like this is if someone such as Jamie Oliver (or the like) could do a couple of episodes of recipes using leftovers. And maybe restaurants could start introducing a good bubble and squeak type dish to their lunch menus too - make it a good price to be attractive to customers and use unused food from the night before.
