http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/05/20/congratulations-self/ a look at how America squanders nearly half of its food Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:08:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/05/20/congratulations-self/comment-page-1/#comment-27469 Laurie Thu, 22 May 2008 16:21:05 +0000 http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/05/20/congratulations-self/#comment-27469 Love your blog. My family has recently started an organinc garden, my kids will have their very own plots to plant what they want and take care of it. I am hoping that it will help to give a new respect for food. Knowing others are going hungry is a painful reality and telling my kids to not throw away a half eatin apple seems to not matter a whole lot. I think when you can just "buy" more its easy to do, I hoping when they see what goes into growing and taking care of a garden it will give them a sense of connection to what they east and a new appreciation for their food. Love your blog.
