RE: Food Waste Pickup #10 Mushroom, Sausage and Strawberries [2018.03.09] Part 2of2

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Most of the food would unfortunately go bad on the trip over the sea so it would be better if the food was not send to us in such abundance just to be shining on the shop shelves for a few hours to then be thrown rather then consumed. We found out that the big market in our town where you can buy the best quality of meet, fish and cheese etc. throws 175 tons per year, that is 500 kilos per day and in the same time we have organisations trying to help the poor who complain on not having enough while others have too much, it's quite insane how we refuse to handle our foodwaste in a sensible way.

In the end it's a matter of defending the capitalistic model where the food goes and then waste is less of a problem for the distributors because they still make a lot more money then taking there responsibility towards the environment and people who really need the food. It's all about making the most profit unfortunately.
