If all the fruit that was left to throw away at the end of a shopping day was collected along with all the cakes the bakers throw away, were collected together and they could all be turned into loads of trifles for hospitals, schools and

other places.

Unwanted vegatables could be turned into stews the list is endless

Average? Is that a meat eater in the UK, or globally? And are you taking on the persona of the average Vegan (UK/Global?), or your actual personal intake?


I've looked on the back of all those packets of dried food(?)stuffs in SMBS and there are some scarily distant (air/sea miles) countries of origin.

Ha peter, the air miles are insignificant when you consider how energy heavy the majority of meat is, 80% of all soya beans grown on the earth go to feed animals, 90% of this energy is wasted when they live about etc. Then add the last wasted to grow the food, and the massive amount of water.

No wonder the chair if the EU committee in climate change is encouraging people to do a meat free day!

I think peter was merely trying to suggest that those without sin should cast the first stone.


If you're eating kiwifruit in November you don't fall into that category, especially if you're communicating it in the bulletin board equivalent of a high pitched nasal ventilation.


How many sheets of bog roll do you use when you go to the loo? I have a colleague that's sufficiently scared of his own poo that he uses so much paper you couldn't shoot a bullet through it. He also fills the bowl with paper first to avoid splashback.


He attempts to justify this clearly ridiculous behaviour, much as you do, by being self-righteous.

I think it is a really good idea.

we should be looking at ourselfs on how we waste food.

I do not understand why some of the forum members are so

negative towards Tarot.

It seems to be a very sad trend on this board I have noticed.

well done Tarot and shame on the rest!.

    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
