Thoughts for the Day – Cut Food Waste and Eat Locally Sourced Food

The following comments have been sent to us from an individual who attended a recent Transition Tattenhall Meeting. Makes perfect sense to most of us, of that I am sure.

Cut food waste at home

• Cut food waste at home by sniffing and tasting urges new campaign.
• Leading UK dairy and food brands are behind a new initiative to fight the UK food-waste mountain by reducing the amount thrown away at home.
• 'Look, Smell, Taste, Don't Waste'.
• The label 'Use by' date is out and 'Best by' date is in.

Eat Local

• Food economy. There are signs that there is a growing interest in UK food and less on food from faraway places. -David Potts – Chief Executive of Morrison's is keen to increase the proportion of British food on the shelves.
• Independent food shops are more likely to stock UK food.
• Morgaine Gaye, food trend forecaster, predicts the future of supermarkets is in the balance. She predicts more of us will soon be buying directly from producers.
