More power to them and thanks for your comment. I said 25% food waste in the home but in the paper on Sunday they were saying a third. Incredible.

I thought I'd add a comment (slightly) in the defence of the supermarkets, or at least one of them. I work for the supermarket Aldi in the warehouse and all fruit and veg that comes in to us is shipped out to stores the same day to give customers the best shelf life possible and quality. Any stock in the warehouse that is about to go out of date we send out to a company that distributes it to the homeless. So there's at least one warehouse doing its bit to stop the waste of food. I really hope other supermarkets do this but sadly I doubt it! I agree with all of your comments on this, the wastage of veg is horrendous!
