With yesterday being #InternationalFoodLossandWasteAwarenessDay it is a wake up for all of us to look at how we contribute to, or combat food waste. That said, it's never as simple as it seems.
We've rescued somewhere in the region of 250,000kg's in food since we set up.
250 tons is nothing to sniff at but considering Edinburgh alone wastes 46,000 tons of food a year it's a drop in the increasingly polluted ocean.
As a wise man said "Food is a good" and from where we're standing it's clear we could be converting our waste to abolish hunger.

1/4 STOP.
A Scotswoman has starved to death.
So just stop.
We've missed the warning signs.
“It should shake us all to our core that in 2020, someone in Scotland starved to death” @BrianMSloan of @agescotland
It should, but it hasn't.
"Someone in Scotland starved to death."
2/4 2020 records show a Scottish citizen's cause of death was listed as "death by lack of food" for the first time in 20 years.
If you missed it, that's understandable. Only @thetimesscot ran it as an "exclusive" behind a paywall.
