What's Trump Done Now?
- Thread starter Retired_Can_Soldier
- Start date
Oh JLM ..............you obviously did NOT WATCH the W5 tv show.................................
about how supermarkets "EXTEND" the best before date of food!!!!!!!!!
A lot of prepared salads and pizza and other products get made on site by using food at or near its best before date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That then gets re-labeled with a NEW best before date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The reality of all that food waste is that IT IS HARD trying to predict how much food can be sold in any given week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for your suggestion the food should be given away - no doubt that would "MESS UP THE MARKETS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all - hospitals and prisons represent major revenue for food suppliers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thus giving food to prisons and hospitals would COST MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unsold cars and shirts can be stored and sold later...........................
unsold food cannot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And WHAT did you ever serve Cliffy?????????????????????
Except yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what you are saying is the whole system has to be revamped. The truth is lots of food is ending up in the garbage can. Perhaps production has to be slowed to a slower pace. 60% wastage rate is an indication that prices are about 40% too high to begin with.
Cliffy - you are full of one............................
and dont understand the other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firstly - i feel obligated to question your 40- 60 percent wastage number........................
I DO KNOW that there is wastage but 50 percent seems absurd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And based on the video from tv show W5 it seems the wastage is mostly confined to certain types of food..........................
often vegetables and baked goods.......................................
any waste is of course not good...............................
but it does seem to be an integral part of the food chain that there will be left overs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The markets AINT DUMPING SIRLOIN STEAKS AND ROASTS you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not often anyway - not when it can be easier to grind it up and sell it as hamburger if necessary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
frankly if the markets were disposing of 50 percent of their food stocks one would have to assume
that every food market in town WOULD REEK OF ROTTING FOOD ALL SUMMER LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think of the reek of those industrial garbage bins coated with bits of decayed food in summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How could they dispose of that much stuff without producing an eye watering stench????????????????
And think of thr cost to truck it all away - such extravagance would quickly bring logical changes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otherwise markets would be driven out of biz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Efficient markets would compete to strangle sloppy markets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The issue of "food waste" appears to have been blown out of proportion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With a population of 320 million, shit happens somewhere at sometime. Drop the paranoia and incessant f**king panicking, enjoy life and enjoy the good in most things!
The news recently (to my utter amazement) reported 56 - 60% in Canada. 10% is too much so action definitely needs to be taken!
