REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

Cooking for myself exclusively I can more accurately make the amount that I know I will want, and that has helped eliminate almost all of my personal food waste. I would hope to save that money and use it on future food. I always love to eat healthily and plentifully, so always having the option to do so is great.
