REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Weekly Meal Planning

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

Khalique Ahmed 10/06/2019 4:47 AM

It does not surprise me, as food expires quickly, and not everyone uses it. I would rather use the money to pay other debts.

Food Zero-Waste Cooking

In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for utilizing every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable, including the skins, tops, and stalks during your next meal prep?

Khalique Ahmed 10/03/2019 1:44 PM

You can compost the extra parts, or just eat the skin if it's edible (potatoes)
