gotta love how grocery stores lock and police dumpsters in the US so you can't rescue their perfectly good wasted food.
I've heard about that through ppl that dumpster-dived on youtube
when i was in college i was poor as fuck (i still am but i manage better lol)
we used to go to little ceasars and get the $5 pizzas outta the dumpster because they'd throw them away at the end of the night still in the box!!
i remember they called the cops on my boyfriend, as if he didn't feel low enough already
now they stomp on the pizzas and lock the dumpster
that's totally dumb tho like grug makes me mad

In the EU, households alone are responsible for ~53% of total food waste [2]



[2] FUSIONS (2016) http://www.eu-fusions.org/phocadownload/Publications/Estimates%20of%20European%20food%20waste%20levels.pdf
i've been struggling  to find this statistic for the us
also i feel like if i did find it i may not be able to trusted if the us funded the study lol
i'm going through this course, maybe it has some on the us i don't remember but it's free so worth a browse if u have the time https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/from-waste-to-value/
when i used to work on a farm, even a tiny little organic farm, the amount of food we just threw out cuz it was "the wrong shape/size" for the processing company (example: butternut squash being processed into sauce had to be a certain shape for the machine)
thankfully that farm let me take as much as i wanted home, and i coordinated with food banks - but most dont!
farmers in the us have to destroy crops in the fields, and i dont even know if they're calculating that since if its never harvested they dont really consider it food yet

The hatred for the poor is such a problem like alot of the effort for anti-homeless architecture could be used to you know actually home them

i'm all about personal responsibility but when it comes to environmental shit, especially here in the us, they push personal responsibility as a way to not hold the big fucking corporations actually at fault responsible - which is probably why we can't really find a trustworthy statistic on how much food is wasted in the home and how much is wasted via capitalist greed lol.

however, i've been known to save all my veg scraps and skins in a bag in the freezer to make broth with to be less wasteful (and more of a cheap ass...)

i keep my meat scraps (bones, skin, etc.) in one bag, and veg in another.
bones you can boil down til they're soft, veg you only wanna boil about 10-20 min before it gets bitter.

i didn't have the heart to like... throw it out back then so i was considering if it is worth freezing it into a block of ice and put it out for the deers and my favorite magpies

when i worked on that farm and was bringing home all that food waste is when i taught myself food preservation
unfortunately i live in a state where i can't get a master canner certification
but every summer ppl come to my house while i'm canning and help me in exchange for the free lesson lol
my neighbor is a semi-famous writer on fermentation and he does fermentation classes 
i taught a class on powdering waste vegetables to sneak into kids food too lol

depends how bad it tastes, it may still be nutritious and you could use it instead of water in your rice.
