Do you waste food unnecessarily?

[Gary A.]

I think it is completely natural for JC to fart. (The glorious is his signature.)

I wouldn't say unnecessarily OGs just puts too much food on the plate at the restaurant unless its one of those fancy restaurants then not enough or some mixture of greens pulled up from the backyard that are inedible like kale or carrot noodles. Just give me the carrot I'd rather eat it that way! Cooking/ buying for one or two there's always leftovers coupled with working all the time who knows when i'll eat leftovers or even once fresh stuff that's sat too long. Then leftovers from a party i never wanted in the first place but no one else took so i got guilted into it (garbage can at the gas station on the way home). or if stuff was just gross in the first place. There's plenty of food, they burn tons of it to keep the prices up/ stable. If any starving people had money we'd build a mcdonalds there and send boatloads of whatever you want to order. You can order as many cheesecakes from new jersey as your heart desires and you can afford. Some suggest it may bump up the prices but anyone complaining theres not enough food in the world is just being facetious. There's plenty of food, just not enough money.

Ok, well not to sound hostile here but I guess I've got a serious disconnect with the entire thought process on this one.

If I'm the one buying my own food why is it anyone elses business what I do with it?

One of the easiest way we have found to not waste food is plan the menu for the week. Breakfast is cereal and yogurt. Supper is planned for each day with the knowledge that there will be leftovers for either lunches or future dinners. With that in mind it makes it easy to plan for those lunches were leftovers will not be eaten.

We always have leftover night at least once a week where you eat a combo of what has been made throughout the last week.

Anything that's getting close to being no good is tonights dinner.


Plus my stomach tends to be the food disposal unit. Not much makes it past.

We generally have one left over night, as the wife and I usually only eat four weeknight meals at home as the wife generally has at least one evening meeting. I generally have at least 2 leftover lunches as well. Sunday night supper is popcorn. Family tradition. Friday night is my night not to cook (date night) so we eat out on Friday nights. With a little planning little to no food waste that way.

You also don't need to refrigerate certain foods. Like ham is perfectly ok to keep out, just cut the maggots off. This allows more space in the refrigerator for things that absolutely have to be refrigerated. Like eggs.
