Do you know how much food, grains, wheat and rice are through away just to maintain the Consumer Prices, <BR><BR>This probably refers to (eg) various EU
<foodstuff> mountains, which are a serious intergovernmental issue.<BR><BR>> instead of helping poor people of the world, “What a waste: Britain throws away £10bn of food every year url ref. <A href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/what-a-waste" target=_blank>http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/what-a-waste</A><BR>> -britain-throws-away-16310bn-of-food-every-year-822809.html”.<BR><BR>But this is something entirely different. It refers to un-used food which is thrown into the garbage bin by individual UK households, at the rate of about £1 a day per household.<BR><BR>It's mainly (only 15% was still "in-date") perishable food which is no longer fit for consumption - and bad planning in the household has meant it wasn't used before growing a coating of mold, or being inadvertently kept on the shelf until after the published expiry date.<BR><BR>90% of the food they buy doesn't suffer this
fate, and perhaps a better way to leave more food for the rest of the world is to cut overall consumption by 10%, especially those items air-freighted with vast carbon footprints from the four corners of the globe.<BR><BR>So here's a practical question: Looking in my own refrigerator just now, I have noticed most of a pack of chillies (cost £0.50) from Morocco, expiry date 22Mar and they have indeed grown some interesting looking mold. But I can't eat chillies quickly enough. So what should I do - not buy them again (smaller packets not available in that shop), and who should public policy seek to protect - Moroccan farmers, or Moroccan consumers - in the event that the UK market for chillies reduces, taking with it the wholesale price.<BR>-- Roland Perry<BR>____________________________________________________________<BR>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<BR> <A href="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org"
