Food gets waisted in our house because husband cannot be bothered to take the weeks veg out of their plastic bag, (guess what this afternoons conversation was about)
Mind you why do they put organic vegetables in a plastic bag and then in a plastic box?

Anyway, back to topic, it has been known for a long time that that the food we produce is done in an inefficient way, piling crops into animals to then kill and eat means we have to grow three times as much to produce the same amount of protein.
The most efficient method would be to grow more soya and this has the advantage of being easier to ship to poorer countries.
