and excuse me 20 billion pounds of food waste from tescos alone world wide
then they say that in a few decades we will have to eat insects because we wont have enough food . ugggggggggggggg dont get it .
and one more point ,supermarket shopping was sold to us as a once a week event, and if you ask people about shopping daily like our parents and g parent. to reduce waste ,buying what we need for that day only.
they all shout back i dont have the time to shop daily , yet how many times do people go to the supermarket on average 4 times aweek . its was one big con we all fell for .and still do
the average family throws away £45 worth of food each week last week a threw away £15 pounds of food. how much do you throw away ,how much do you buy thinking you might need it then dont .

As to why we waste so much, well here is a 'potted' version.
When the 'multiple' supermarket groups started in the 60's, it was quite clear that they were going to gain a great deal of influence due to their enormous buying-power.
Little did we know at that time the grotesque effect that would have on our corner shops. This resulted in tens of thousands of sole traders going out of business, simply because the supermarkets were often selling to the public at prices below that which the sole trader could buy-in at.
As the supermarkets gained more influence and popularity they became less concerned with keeping the prices low, because all they wanted to do was to sell more and more.
Gradually over time the supermarkets have conditioned the public into spending more and more on things they don't really need, so people's weekly shopping bills went up and up.
It is only with the advent of cheaper quality supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl that the larger groups have begun to feel the pinch, and have been forced to reduce their prices.
The problem for the large groups now is that their underhanded tactics are becoming public, and even if they do reduce their prices, the public quite apart from having long memories, has now made alternative plans.
Yes we do shop once a week, and we now shop at Aldi as opposed to where we used to shop, at Tesco.
Do we save money, well yes we do? We regularly used to spend around about £80 a week on groceries at Tesco, and a further £20 - £30 at the butchers. Today we spend around £60 - £70 a week on everything, so we are better-off by circa £20 to £40 a week.
I have to admit that whilst I am retired, my wife still does work part-time, so in our case we go shopping once a week. But even if we wanted to do it every day the nearest local shop is nearly the same distance from us as Aldi who have a much wider choice of products.
As to what we throw away, well in common with the change in our shopping habits, the amount that we waste has decreased significantly to the point that we hardly ever throw anything away today.
One thing that I cannot get me head around is why the EU are allowed to throw away masses and masses of food, simply to keep the prices level and atificially high.
Surely if they had any conscience at all they would give that food free of charge to countries where the populations are really starving and in need of it.
You work it out?

It is absolutely disgraceful that people in this country should have to go cap in hand just to feed their families.
If Cameroon had one ounce of decency in him he could easily raise enough funds so as to allow struggling families to buy their own food and keep their self-respect.
One simple way that he could raise extra money to do this would be to reintroduce the 1696 window tax for people who have mansions, or just by a simple mansion tax in itself.
He does not want to do it because most of his cronies including his own wife own mansions.
So what other alternative is there other than to rid British politics of him and his insensitive party, and make a fresh start with a party who are committed to try and improve the lot of the working classes.
There is no guarantee that the labour Party can do it, but at least we all will know that their heart and their politics are in the right place.

Personally I think the bankers have had their day because everyone is zoned into them and their greedy ways, and they are being watched like hawks.
Any more nonsense and I think we could see British banking change forever.
