Please tell me about your food waste!
Our local council are trialling food waste bins, which I'm pleased about, although I'm not on the trial. I've seen someone posting on Facebook that they had weighed their food waste for the week and it came to 5kg. FIVE! I've not weighed ours, but for two people I'd be surprised if it came to 0.5kg. We cook most things from scratch, but once or twice a week we'll have ready meals or a takeaway or similar, like a bought jar of pasta or curry sauce rather than making it. I guess not having children in the house means we don't do something like cook a load of pasta and throw out what's uneaten. I really don't mean this to be virtue signalling or to make anyone feel guilty, but I'm honestly at a loss to know how one family can create so much food waste. Would anyone be willing to give be an estimate of how much they have and what is in it, just to satisfy my curiosity?
