My friend who cant stand to “ waste food” was never hungry as a child. Yet, she wastes lots of food by failing to use it up. This is all stuff she has purchased, it is all processed food for the most part although there are always vegetables and fruits that go bad.

You environmentalists would hate all of the packaging she uses to save the leftover fodd she wont likely eat. She goes through rolls of foil and plastic wrap, tons of it, and baggies. She never reuses any of it.

I don’t have a problem “wasting food” because our waste goes to the compost bin for the most part. I have written here many times about the tens ( hundred?) of pounds of produce that come from DH’s garden that we don’t use. I can’t control that, that is not my problem.
