Food...Do You Waste It?

I have always hated waste of any sort.My daughter always has a good laugh when she asks me 'what are those 5 baked beans doing in the fridge?'Seriously though, I try to either cook enough so that half can go into the freezer, or I make sure to cook an amount that will be completely eaten up on that day.There is not a crumb of food wasted in our house because all the little scraps are given to the the chickens when they are fed their grain. We are well repaid with nice big free range eggs. Any meat scraps of course are quickly gobbled up by the dogs.Any pieces of over ripe fruit go out onto the bird table. The reward being the birds themselves.

I'm with you.  I hate to waste anything but especially food.  I freeze everything that I can't eat right away.  I dice up bits and pieces of leftover veggies to throw in omelets or soups later.  I cook all of the chicken, feet, gizzards and all and give to the dogs. All my vegetable and fruit paring go in the compost pile.  I even save seeds from fruits and veggies and plant them, some grow, some don't but I tried.

my parents and my grandmom who is my caregiver taught us how to never leave anything in our plates because its bad and its gonna bring us bad luck lol. ever since then i try to eat all food in my plate. even the tiniest rice bits, i try to reach them all. its a good habit to teach with kids. because they learn the value of food supply. especially right now that there is food shortage in africa or parts in asia.

On our house we never waste any food at all, as long the food is edible to eat we try to reheat or recook it, but if cannot we feed it to the cats or dogs.My reason is there are millions of people starving around the world that not eating properly or not eating at all. I have read in an article that the crumbs or a tablespoon remain on our plates will feed thousand of people.That is why i always taught my kids not to waste any foods at all.

Yes most of the time, because the portions are always too big. But i will try my best to finish it each time. Everytime i think of the 3rd world country makes me feel fortunate. So we should not waste food yah.You can ask the seller to give you smaller portions if you know you cant finish it.

I don't waste food as much as I could. But there are times that I can't avoid to. I don't have dogs and chickens so it goes to trash. However, I am trying not to cook more than I can eat.

Waste is bad. Discipline is very important. Take only what you can really eat.

I agree. I try to cook enough for one meal, but I always seem to have food left over. I tray to eat the left over food the next day, but there is always food that has to be thrown away. We have no animals to give the foo to as we live in an apartment.
