OK, so you know I don't do politics, I also don't usually air my personal views - outside Beading - in public, but the report on the news this morning got under my skin - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12249909
'The developed world is going to run out of food'........................WHAT????
I have the answer to most of the 'developed world's' food shortage fears.................STOP BLOODY WASTING IT!!
The amount of food thrown out after a meal, the amount of unused stock given to pig farmers from supermarkets, the amount of unpresentable food thrown out of restaraunts, could probably feed a third world country!
Do you see drivers pouring petrol out onto the side of the road? Do you see drinkers pouring half the glass of scotch away because it didn't look as nice as the other glass did?
Use the food you buy, buy the food you need, give away the food you have over - every city has a shelter which will accept it, use clingfilm to save what you don't feel like eating until the next day. It's common sense surely?
Behave as if you don't know where your next meal is coming from - you won't waste what's in front of you then!
OK........................lecture over. Back to beading.
Good post Peter. I have been hearing those ramblings too. Possibly to justify an increase of 60 cents a dozen eggs recently. But you are so right about the waste. So Sad.
