We waste tens of thousands of tonnes of good food

Supermarket giant Tesco revealed today it generated almost 30,000 tonnes of food waste in the UK in the first six months of 2013.
Of that total, 21 per cent was made up of fruit and vegetables and 41 per cent of bakery items.
No doubt the story is no different in Ireland.
Food waste is a scandal, the smallest morsel.

One in seven people in the world have not enough to eat, that means 1,000,000, 000 people.
