I'm watching "The Big Waste" on The Food Network.
I'm learning a lot about how much food is wasted on the daily basis.
Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Anne Burrell, and Alex Guarnaschelli were give the task of feeding 100 people with food marked as "unusable" and meant for the trash.
The chefs visit retailers, wholesales, and every day people who go thru "garbage" to see what good food is be tossed away. Anne's dumpster dive was very eye opening. Alex's visit to a fruit orchid shows how not "perfect" produce is okay to eat. According to Bobby's visit to an orchard 40% food is wasted. When Alex and Michael visits the "compost pile" of a farm show how non perfect and "slightly damaged" fruit and vegetables are okay to eat and use. Alex's visit to an egg farm showed how eggs comes in different sizes and colors. It's these not "perfect" eggs are wasted. Just as Michael visits a meat market and see how the desired "perfect cut" is wanted and the "by products", which are perfectly fine, are trashed.
It show was amazing and eye opening.
