Watch John Oliver Take on Food Expiration Date Myths
"According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the average American throws away between $28 and $43 in the form of about 20 pounds of food each month. That adds up to about $165 billion worth of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and meats that are never consumed. It's food that "went bad," "looks funky," and/or "took up too much space." It's food that's totally edible and nutritious. The problem boils down to aesthetics."
…(and Esquire and the Natural Resources Defense Council, whatever that is)?
And by the way, you may throw away 20 pounds of food per month but I don’t come even remotely close to that.
(And these are some of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard. Buy ugly veggies at the farmers market? That’s a joke, right?)
For a minute there I was feeling pretty good but now I’m grumpy again.
