May we all take a moment of silence for the underappreciated casualties of a good meal. We bring you this article to raise awareness for food scraps.

According to www.stopfoodwaste.ie, 60% of food waste is avoidable! This includes food scraps, leftovers, and expired food. The most waste comes from over shopping for groceries as you usually don’t know how many times you're going to decide to eat out a certain week.

The strategy should be to buy less and then order food if/when you finish all your perishables. Sounds childish to make sure you “finish all your veggies” but this is the best way to prevent avoidable food waste. And yes, once you finish your groceries, you can treat yourself to a couple takeout meals toward the end of the week. This will ensure that no food goes to waste and you can still enjoy your weekends without worrying about what is “going bad” in your fridge.
