lovefoodhatewaste.com that is.
On the last day of the easter hols we went to Stafford. Why oh why did you and your family go to Stafford Sarah? i hear you all ask…well that would be because of my 6 year old son who loves trains, paticularly red, shiny pendalino trains which only stop at Stafford before they go straight to London..and we didnt want to go there. So we went to stafford, which is about 40 minutes on the train.
It started a bit stressful, we thought we had the wrong ticket, so we all got off the train, Ben ran to the ticket office, ran back for the family card, ran to the ticket office, the guards waited impatiently, we all waited impatiently, the girls fretted that Daddy wouldnt get on the train, I fretted that Daddy wouldnt get on the train, Isaac fretted that he wouldnt get on the train…..
we finally did get on the train….and sat down. At which point Matilda added her own full stop to the merry event and filled her boots ( quite literally) and I had to wobble and bounce my way down two carriages, carrying a baby (far enough away from me so as not to leave a delightful yellow patch on my top…) and also my bag in search of a change room. Then change a baby on a slightly dodgy (above the toilet) change table on a very fast moving train with about 2 wipes in total. Yep….no stress!
Anyway moving on we got off at Stafford and decided we would have a walk round and came across a road show for the above website with a celebrity chef (apparently) and couple of other people promoting things like compost bins. We stopped and listened and it was shocking just how much food poeple throw away. £600 a year per family..thats insane. imagine £600 worth of food in a trolley! Its nuts!
So now I am trying to be a bit more imaginative with what i use the food i buy for and also to be aware of just how much is being thrown away..which cant be that bad financially either and what with this sort of news..
don't really want to add any more than i need to, to the profits of that particular retailing monster
so go check out the website and get creative
