We must stop wasting food in an attempt to combat rising living costs, says Gordon Brown. |

Perhaps if he could see the quantities of food wasted by the supermarkets not being able to sell the bread, fruit, veg, fish and meat.......when they bring themselves into line, then they can perhaps, tell me what to do......until then.....I am big enough to know what I am doing, thank you Gordon..... |

I ain't hanging on his every word and I don't believe a word he says - most politicians seem to lie - they are full of ideals on the way up and when they get there they only think of themselves - those of us who lived through the war are very conscious of wasting food anyway, we do not need lessons from the likes of him or anyone else for that matter |

My point exactly. He could get the percentages down even further if he found a rich person who shops at Netto or Aldi. Their percentage would then drop to 3 or 4%! |

Even so,there is still far too much food wasted.Pigs can't have swill any more so it just has to go to rot on a tip. |

Tomorrows tip from Indiana Brown will tell us how many sheets of toilet paper we should use. Just think how much money we would save if we all used half as much. |

I dont doubt there is too much waste. My point is that it is disingenious, to say the least, to suggest that our economic problems are caused by it rather than the slightly more obvious reasons of taxation, government waste and profilgacy, global greed and emerging economies such as India and China. |

I was a child during the war, and we had to make do and mend. No wasted food, or what was over went in the pig swill, collected by the Council. |

I have read that report twice. I still cannot fathom the logic of the statistics! |

We have found "ripen at home" to be a waste of money, it never ripened, it either dried up or rotted. |
