Go to any tip and have a look how much food is thrown away. Better still ask the seagulls who are getting fat on the pickings. Oh! And have a good sniff as well.

The report may well be exaggerated (they usually are) but there is still a lot of substance in it.

Supermarkets throw away tons of food that has passed its sell by or should that be use by date.

Once upon a time pigs, who will eat just about anything, were fed pig swill. That being unsold food from shops and restaurants and spoiled veg from greengrocers. As I understand it, nowadays they are fed on feed that has been grown for the purpose of feeding them and virtually no pig swill. Although I am sure that there will be some pig farmers who go and collect or have delivered pig swill.
