Neither do I, at least based on the people I personally know. Very little is
ever wasted.

I didn't read it. It's probably more of that fake news.

Much food is tossed on appearance alone but some of the ugliest looking
veggies are the best tasting. I also know people that will not eat
leftovers. Half a roast beef or chicken goes into the trash, the only
crime being it was not eaten at the first serving.

I'll spend a lot of money to buy the best ingredients, but I plan ahead
and don't toss anything. Tonight's dinner will be another dinner and at
least one lunch. I hate waste, but a lot of people just don't care.

Yeah, but think"school lunches", etc...and as I mentioned to Ed below, "millennials", they seem to waste a lot...they will just casually take a bite of something they've prepared or been served, and toss it away...

We skew older, and our parents ingrained us with the "waste not, want not" philosophy...

I find that so strange and yet I know two people who do just that. I
find there are many things, like stew, which are far tastier second
time around. My grandmother wouldn't allow us to waste or leave
anything. You didn't have to take something if you thought you didn't
like it, but once on your plate, it HAD to be eaten, or else.

Don't waste became ingrained because of rationing but I feel it's a
good habit in the long run. We have green bins in the basement for
food waste composting and sometimes I am quite shocked when I open the
lid to dump spud peeling, tops and tails of carrots etc. and see what
others in this building consider waste!

There was a time when Ed and Greg were 25 and the biddies and
fuddyduddies of those days were complaining about them. It's the way
of the world, so complain away! Aren't those millennials terrible?!

Nothing here is wasted, I'm very frugal with food, and any food that
isn't eaten goes to feed critters... there's never a scrap of anything
edible that goes in my trash... even a grain of rice goes to feed
critters.

I try my darndest not to waste food. That's why I have a small separate
freezer.

What used to disturb me was the waste from the restaurant kitchen when I
worked at Red Lobster (I'm talking 1981). For example, baked potatoes.
The kitchen manager would have to guestimate how many baked potatoes to
have on hand for the night. You can't exactly ask a guest to wait an
hour for a baked potato. They hated to 86 them since it was one of only
three possible side dishes (way back then). At the end of the night
there were often a lot of baked potatoes left. I remember asking what
they did with them. The manager told me they throw them out. I asked
why they don't donate them to a soup kitchen or something. He told me
health regulations wouldn't allow it. Risk of improper storage or some
such thing. I was appalled. I also asked, "Why can't you let the staff
take a few home?" Also against health department regulations.

Hell, for all I know he was selling them out of the back of his car.
But I really do think they threw them away. Hopefully things have
changed in the ensuing decades.

Note: If I'd been allowed to take a few leftover baked spuds home I'd
have turned them into baked potato soup.

It wasn't "news", per se. It was tips about not wasting food.

Didn't I mention risk of improper storage or some such thing? Probably
because they would need to be used quickly. Perhaps it was a decision
he made, but he mentioned the health department regs.

I think things have changed a lot since then, most stores and things donate
to food banks etc., at least in the area I'm in, I imagine restaurants do
too. We've always been big on leftovers so nothing really goes to waste, I
like to cook ahead a lot of times with leftovers as a plan. I can't imagine
throwing good food out.

You mean those cheese biscuits? When I worked there they hadn't come up
with that idea yet. I remember all too well having to ask "baked
potato, french fries or rice?" and "salad or cole slaw?" Those were the
options. Of course all the seafood meals also included hushpuppies.

I just tossed one large lonely baked potato and a quarter of a large
butternut squash into my yard, not enough for potato soup but will
make a hungry doe happy... in a few hours it'll be fully composted and
returned to enrich my soil.
I almost always cook with leftovers planned... last night's dinner was
kielbasa and beans, enough for tonight and maybe another meal. We
don't mind eating the same thing twice./thrice in a row. Kielbasa can
always become an omelet with a side of beans.

Food that is given to animals is not wasted IMO, only if it's perfectly good
and thrown in the garbage. I made pork roast, rice, and sauerkraut
yesterday, we will have that again today.

My son is almost a millennial, and, other than overcooking eggs (to my
taste), he is a damned good cook. He does go out to a lot of
restaurants, but they are generally inexpensive places with great food.

There is not a lot of food waste in our house. I generally cook for the
number of people present. That is usually just me and my wife, so I cook
enough for two servings, and just about everything by bones and skins
gets eaten.

As everyone does, at least our generation knew how to cope without getting
directions from an app on how to live life. Also, If we made bad decisions,
we had to live with them without all the cradle to grave safety nets like
there are these days, which I'm sure *yoose* did too since you ain't no
spring chicken, and BTW...every generation is special.

Often I think dsi1 is only in his 20s... early 20s... mainly because
he's exceptionally evasive, like most young people on line. We don't
even know his name let alone what he looks like. Sometimes I have me
doubts he lives in Hawaii, for all we know he lives in New Jersey, the
slums of Hoboken, in a one room basement appartment.
If he had any cojones he'd post his picture in the middle of a
pineapple plantation... I think he's a coward, he flaps his gums but
he's ascared to show who he is. RFC never used to be like it is now,
used to be everyone was open, we knew everyone's real name, and what
they looked like, nowadays most rfcers are sneaks, never to be
trusted. Now RFC is a shit hole.
I have nothing to hide. That's me in Belize:

He has posted a pic of himself and he is no spring chicken, though nice
looking, and those are nice pics of you, many years ago to be sure. I have
posted a pic of myself many years ago too, I am old now and I don't don't
post pics anymore. Now, you should post a pic of you from last weekend say,
that would be impressive. LOL

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

He lives in or near Kaneohe. No pineapple plantations there, but there's
quite a large Marine Corps air station nearby, which stated out
as a Naval air station.
