Second thing is bananas. Take a look at The Real Junk Food Project. The Leeds branch intercepts so much food, it now has a pay as you feel supermarket.

Bread, yes. I buy a small loaf, but I only eat 1 slice a day, so it tends to go mouldy before I finish it.

Little else. I batch cook and freeze, so very limited waste.

we don't waste much food here. any that isn't eaten goes in the composter.

probably buy about one loaf a fortnight, nobdy here likes bread much.

I try not to but I have to admit to forgetting about jars of pesto and pots of sour cream in the fridge. I rarely throw away bread and brown bananas go in the freezer and I use them to bake with. Any fruit and veg that goes off gets put on the compost heap so isn't wasted.

No, I can't bring myself to waste food. I've eaten things that I don't really care to remember in hindsight

No I dint waste food at home, it grinds my gears on how much food that is thrown away at work. Unfortunately the cc have a policy of no food to be taken off the site.

I hate wasting anything, food is at the top of that list. I always cook enough to freeze portions rather than throwing leftovers away. I bake bread at home so only ever bake what we need.

It's scandalous what is thrown away by some.

No, but stupid people see the " best before" date on food and think that it means " throw away by".

Also the majority of people don't know how to store food ( e.g. Putting fresh vegetables in the fridge, when that actually makes them go rotten more quickly)

And yes, people overbuy stuff.

BOGOF. Is a major culprit; it should be renamed

I try not to.

I rarely throw bread away, as we don't eat it often. I did, however, throw away a lot of salad after Christmas, because I forgot to use it Boxing day and it went out of date, then I bought more, which didn't get used because I wasn't home to use it. I usually use it all except the celery. For some reason we never eat all the celery before it goes mushy and you can't buy smaller packs.

I sometimes bin potatoes, because we only have them once a week, as a rule.

I throw it away when it looks and feels grotty.

I hear that! I lived with as a family with two kids and the food waste was horendous, but that was down to impulse buying while other foods sat in the fridge going off.

The regulation things that I find abhorent are supermakets throwing stuff into bins, and then locking them to stop homeless/freegan types getting hold of it, and in some cases injecting meats with dies and things to make them inedible (cant remember where I read it but its gotta be on the internet somewhere). And most of this because of the best before date. (as if at midnight it suddenly implodes with mold).

I'm quite good at not wasting food, but it does mean I eat some really random combinations sometimes. I never throw sliced bread out, if it won't get eaten before it's going to go stale it goes in the freezer for toast.

Bread goes in the freezer and is defrosted when needed. Crusts usually go out on the bird table.

Have a wormery and compost bin so most food waste ends up being recycled. It's only the stuff the worms can't handle that ends up being thrown away.

Once we all learn to eat what we need and have available, rather than what we fancy and can buy at a whim, it will be fine.

Milks good for 3 days usually. Bread? I just take out of freezer enough slices for the day. I think most people defrost a full loaf and don't use it all before it's past the best.
