Food waste by the lorry load

Human food is being wasted by an overwhelming amount daily abd we are doing little to address this

  • So many of us can grow some of our own food, individually and as a community. It is a choice to make. 
  • Supermarkets have taught us that only perfect food is edible, we have stopped thinking for ourselves. So millions of tonnes of fruit, veg and more is rejected. Each tonne has been grown whilst destroying just a bit more of our soil biosphere, gallons more chemicals, and the blood, sweat and tears of the farmers.
  • So much ends up on lorries to be disposed of, some goes back as animal feed :  https://x.com/cattlefinishers/status/1857714403661021508/video/1
  • We have so few mechanisms to get perfectly usable food being eaten  – to food banks (which we shouldn’t need), into processing, into communities. 
  • Supermarkets should be forced to give out any waste food, sell it cheaper (their loss) sooner,
