Food Waste

[bigpaul]

back when I first got married (wife number one) the only take aways were fish and chip shops and supermarkets didnt exist.
these days people can just pop into a supermarket and get food from around the world in a time of plenty, like MB says food is thrown out when it reaches its used by date, that always amused me, some thing that is fine at 5 to midnight will kill you 5 minutes after midnight, nobody used the "sight, smell, taste" test on food anymore, if its overdated it goes in the bin.
mind you the food industry and manufacturing are the worst culprits for waste much more than households.
if people starve after the collapse that is their problem for not planning ahead, even an idiot can see the way things are heading what with grain and sunflower oil affected by the war in Ukraine and other crisis will occur in time.
