Really? Planned food fights as birthday party entertainment? That’s the best you can do? There is an interested skirmish in the comments section, but to throw another 2 cents in, I’d say there are environmental and ethical implications to wasting food as opposed to money.

Howard County, Md, is rocking recess before lunch (HT Robin Shreeves). Why aren’t more schools?

Here’s what a waste composition study looks like. (from Charleston County, SC) To preserve landfill space, the county is “looking at food composting.” I hope it’s a long look.

Finally, here’s a Wasted Food first: linking to an article by a princess. The UAE’s Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein makes a cogent argument to reduce waste and curb overeating while so many go hungry in our world.

My understanding is that you are writing a book about food waste in America and thought you may have some insights for me in regards to city composting programs. Have you encountered or are you aware of large scale year round composting programs in extreme cold climates? I talked with our city and although we do some fantastic things here in Fargo, ND… a reason they indicated that they do not do year round food compost is the weather. Thoughts or any insight would be appreciated.
Hi Jonathan,
Just found your blog for the first time today. Great to see so many concerned food foragers and activists. I’m sure your book will be an excellent read.
If you have not yet heard of my one-woman urban fruit gleaning and farmers’ market produce collection for the hungry, please let me introduce myself. I’m Anna Chan, The Lemon Lady.
