Food

Emma Cat, aka, La Contessa Gaga Bathory, and I have been watching Sunday Morning, special focus on food. Of course, no program on food is complete without the issue of wasting food. I recommend going online and finding the story on cbs.com today. According to SM, 40%, or 165 billion dollars worth of food is wasted. They talked about places like Loaves and Fishes where rescued food is given to the needy. There are also entire grocery stores created in different cities where those in need can shop, for free. There was a high school teacher who went through grocery store garbage to rescue the perfectly good food that is tossed; I've seen stories like this before, too, over the last thirty years, beginning when I was in grade school. Jewel Osco and other companies have been turning over food that otherwise would have been tossed. Other companies go to farms that are ready to plow over otherwise good crops and hand harvest them for food banks. It is "food for thought."
