Daily News | The average family wastes $1,500 in food each year. Drexel Food Lab wants you to eat your garbage.
Take an onion, Jonathan Deutsch explained. Spend some time with it, thinking carefully what you could do with it. Or with fish bones. Or broccoli stems.This is not a culinary Zen exercise. It’s a start to handling your household food waste in a more environmentally sustainable manner.
Assistant administrator Chris Frey, of the EPA’s Office of Research and Development, said that the grants “will help us identify successful strategies to empower communities to reduce food waste while improving food security.”Until the 1970s, using every bit of an animal, fruit, or vegetable was the norm. “Every culture had a way of dealing with food [scraps]. That’s the idea behind scrapple, soups, sorbets, and agua frescas, for example,” Deutsch said.
An estimated $162 billion worth of food a year is thrown away. For the average family of four, that’s at least $1,500 a year tossed in the garbage.Making matters worse, this food waste starts an unfriendly environmental domino effect.
