Food Network takes on waste  January 13th, 2012

I was watching The Big Waste last weekend, a show where they challenged star chefs to feed 100 people a gourmet meal out of food destined to be tossed out. The show was amazing, for sure. They referenced the website http://cookingmatters.org/ and I thought it had some interesting elements that might be borrowable for some projects here on campus.

I will stop looking for the perfect apple after having watched this show.  I know it doesn’t matter if the carrot tops are a bit wilted, but we as a society are definitely trained to search for the “best” looking item in the pile.
