amazing amounts of food wasted but used in a good way

[Pasty]

No food waste here either, the freezer saves all waste. The cats have the meat bones, the hens have the food waste, our house cow has the veg tops, the JR has a tiny bit of food waste, the children arent fussy, and I dont buy crap. I cant remember throwing any good food out. Best before dates have become bible to some which is absolutely criminal when householders throw out carrots because the bag says so.

Your hens obviously don't have you your food waste as that would be illegal. Unless you mean stuff which has not been through a commercial or domestic kitchen in which case it is fine. Everyone knows that giving hens spud peelings causes ebola and BSE. Defra said so.

Watching this foodbank on FB and its close to riots there now. When your practically giving away M&S cakes and Waitrose turkeys and asking for contributions its bound to end in tears, note the recent note on the behaviour of some people. I would hazard stuff being resold at profit. Unfortunately a small percentage of humans cant behave when they see things going for pittance no doubt as word gets around more people turning up in frenzy style loading cars with months worth of freebies for a donation and as much as you donate what you can you always get those who will walk out either with £1 or as you suspect nothing. It doesnt work.
