I hate waste of all kinds, but food waste makes me feel particularly guilty. One reason is I really love food, but also, it is criminal to throw food away when many go without.
However, some food waste is inevitable as we can't eat every pit, peel and pith that comes about as part of prepping our meals. Many areas have great food waste schemes to tackle this, but if like me, you live in a place without, your options are putting it in the trash or composting it. I do compost what I can, but my compost heap is at the end of my 250-foot garden, and composting takes six months to a year, so I am perhaps not the active composter I wish I was.
