According to the USDA, “In the United States, food waste is estimated at between 30-40 percent of the food supply.” Here's something you can do about it: Join TooGoodToGo. It's an app that you can use to buy food – at low cost – that would otherwise be thrown away, food from bakeries and restaurants -- food that you want to eat. We used TooGoodToGo a little in the Atlanta area, but it was not widely known there, so using it required a lot of driving. Here in the UK it is better known, and there are 5 participating restaurants and shops within walking distance of our house. The food usually needs to be eaten right away, but it's almost ridiculously inexpensive. Tell your favorite restaurant, bakery, coffee shop, that they need to join!

Here's what we got in a "hot food bag" from Wenzel's for £4.75.
