Fruity statistics

I just happened to flick over to ‘Working Lunch’ — no I didn’t watch the entire programme — and this guy came up with some strange waste figures from the Government. Supposibly, in the UK we throw away a third of the apples we buy (as in uneaten apples!) In addition to this, we threw away 1.6 million bananas and 1.2 million oranges last year.

    It is sad to see how much food is wasted by humans when there is so much starvation around. I am trying to use all the food I acquire so that not a lot goes to waste. Those are some crazy statistics.

    Guilty! I tend to take too much fruit to work, and then days later realize I will never eat that apple now that it is past its prime.

    Thats a lot of fruit. Whats more surprising is that someone actually went to all the trouble to count it. LOL
