Love Food Hate Waste suggests we throw away 7 million tonnes of food and drink each year from homes in the UK.

According to Love Food Hate Waste, this is due to either preparing too much food at once, or not using enough in time.

In addition, according to Which? a recent investigation by online retailer Appliances Direct found that 65% of people throw away food because they are unsure of whether the product can be frozen or not.

A survey of 1000 British adults saw 65% admit to throwing away food and produce due to lack of storage knowledge.

Luckily, companies like Assuranty Nationwide post numerous blogs relating to topics such as fridge food storage tips as well as freezer maintenance to assist in the knowledge stakes.

The outcome of the Appliances Direct survey suggests that the average family could save up to £90 a month on its grocery bills, just by freezing meat, fish and poultry items, as well as leftover cooked meals.

Likewise, Love Food Hate Waste suggests that wasting food costs the average household between £500-700 a year.

These statistics sound harsh, but nonetheless very realistic if you take the time to consider your own food loss habits.

However, there are ways these losses can be reduced.

    Analysis of Food Inc.

    Studies have shown that many people all over the world are unaware of where their food comes from. When an individual goes to consume a food product, he or she could be completely oblivious to the methods of manufacture, processing, packaging or transportation gone into the production of the food item. It is often said that ‘ignorance is bliss’ – perhaps this rings true in the case of food, its origins and its consumption as well. In such a scenario, eating well could seem like an unlikely prospect. The definition of ‘eating well’ in modern times seems to have gone from eating healthily, to eating ethically. The manner in which food is produced and consumed has changed more rapidly in the past fifty years than it has in the previous ten thousand years (Pollan and Schlosser, 2008). With this swift transformation, various ethical issues came to the fore. Food production is now done large scale in factories, rather than in farms. Mass production of various types of food, from crops and vegetables to seafood and meat, is very much the norm. The fact that food is mass produced nowadays is already something that a lot of people do not know about. The reason behind this is that food producing firms do not want the consumers – their customers – to know too much about the food manufacturing industry (Pollan and Schlosser, 2008), in the fear that customer loyalty could be lost upon their finding out various truths. To retain their customer base, according to documentary film ‘Food, Inc.’, narrated by Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the image associated with food in the United States of America is that of an American farmer. Various motifs plastered all over food packaging and advertisements for food products, such as green pastures for grazing cattle, picket fences, the typical farmhouse, vast meadows and, most importantly, the farmer, lead consumers to believe that their food still comes from farms, or at least a pastoral version of small time cottage industries. With…

    Most people have realized that food waste is a major issue in today’s society, yet we tend to neglect any action towards it. Though there has been an increasing amount of action against food waste, more people need to be convinced that this is a matter that needs immediate attention. Bloom was successful getting the point across in regards to food waste affecting our society in a negative manner. Three phrases he used in the text to get that point across to readers were cultural shift, culture of waste, and culture of thrift.…

    The first key claim made is according to the (Natural Resources Defense Council),” as much as 40% of all the food produced in the United States never gets eaten.” This means so much food that can be eaten is just thrown away. “In 2013,49.1 million people lived in food-insecure households” (USDA). This is such a vital statistic because Homeless and impoverished people who have an insufficient amount of food could be fed instead of it being thrown away. Precious resources like water pumped in to water the vegetables and trees cut down to make room for farms are used for nothing. Another issue is the accumulation of food waste in landfills creates anaerobic conditions resulting in Methane gas. Methane gas is a key contributor to greenhouse gases, which are warming our planet at an alarming rate.…

    The demand for food in US is growing more; Americans can’t afford to lose food, it’s too valuable. Getting food to houses in the US takes up to 10% of the US total energy budget uses 50% of US land and takes 80%of freshwater consumed in US. But stilll40% of the food in US remains uneaten. People are throwing away $165 billion and 25% of freshwater and large amount of chemicals, energy and land away causing 25% of US methane emissions. Food saved by decreasing losses to 15% can feed more than 25milllion people in U.S a year, when now 1 in 6 Americans lack food on their tables. The average American consumer wastes 10x food as much as an average person in Southeast Asia, up 50% since the 1970s. We need to change our supply operation, enhance market incentives, and increase public awareness and adjustments in consumer behavior. A way people can reduce food waste at home is simple; reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce consumerism when buying food that you don’t actually need. Before buying products ask yourself if you can leave that behind and try a meal without it. Reuse ingredients in other meals, or…

    Food waste is not just consumers throwing dinner scraps away. Producing, distributing, storing and cooking food uses energy, fuel and water. Each of these emits greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. Looking at emissions of uneaten food from farm to table, the researchers found that food wasted at the consumer phase had the highest carbon footprint. Some food spoils before farmers can harvest it, other food goes bad on its way from the farm to the market, and still more food ends up rotting on supermarket shelves that's because by the time food gets to that stage, it's already accumulated emissions from production, harvest, and distribution. In other words, when chuck food that you buy at the supermarket, you're throwing away every part of the process that has gotten it there, as well.…
