      Uh-oh! I am waaay below the average. 
      Half a kilo per day?
      I must try harder.

      I seriously don’t think this is true and also can’t believe we have so much food waste if it is though I have to admit they need to start changing their factories and stop producing so much food for the market.

      I see this, my grandfather is wasting so much of the stuff i buy for him by simply leaving it outside of the fridge overnight so it spoils, totally its is im sure more than 0.5kg per day on average for 1 person. And 1/3 population is elderly like that, so even with the rest being not wasteful at all they can do the quota

      We bought a big freezer and it’s great, because now we can freeze foods for a few days until we get back to it.

      For example today we ordered pizza but until it arrived we already decided we don’t want pizza anymore 😆 let it cool. Put it in the freezer. Eat it next week while working.

      We also don’t eat the same food twice in a row, so the chance of waste is pretty big. Instead of keeping it for 5 days in the fridge, just freeze it till next week (cos in the fridge it can still go bad in 5-6 days)

      Same goes for anything that can be frozen.

      And with few dried exceptions, nothing stays more than a month in the freezer.

      Okay, but the pictures are misleading. This is not only food wasted like moldy bread, but also potato peels and such, it’s measuring compostables.
      If you do the math it goes to produce 200grams of wasste per day, and that’s not a lot – like four potato peels and some shaven off fat.

      However I’m sure it disregards home compost heaps, pretty popular in the country.
