Use up all your fridge contents first before restocking it
Come home and stuff up the fridge.
As days passed on, the most frequently used stuff would get over and i would rush to the grocery store to replenish my stocks. What I would forget is the other stuff sitting at the back of the fridge.
The backfridge is a goldmine.But then things would get so stuffed up there that I would finally remove all semi rotting stuff from the back and throw them away.
What a waste of food.This food cost money. This food was produced from resources. Never waste food.No matter how much money we earn or have in the bank , nothing affords us , the humans,the capacity to create our own food.WE ARE NOT AS SELF SUFFICIENT LIKE THE PLANTS. Coz, unlike the plants, we don't do photosythesis. We are dependants. We depend on the plants to make food out of sunlight and dirt...hmmm.We are not "creators", we are just consumers.
Over the years I have grown wiser and more responsible too.I still buy tons of stuff, but then once the front is empty, I start looking in the back and figure out ways to use them in recipes. After a good week of so of this fridge scavenging, finally the fridge gets empty and oh so tidy looking.
This is when i go grocery shopping again.
Saves me money, prevents food wastage and I eat a better variety of dishes instead of obsessing on the same old ones I am crazy about.

Not wasting food can save the environment
you see conservation is preservation...so each time you conserve water, you help the environment stay that much more balanced..
You might be surprised to know that not wasting food does the same.
You see, eat only that much that makes you feel just full..slightly satisfied and yes,, cook only small enough portion that will get eaten up fully at each meal..that way you don't waste good to eat food in the garbage..
Like they say.. each penny saved is equal to each penny earned
Each plant uses up some nutrients of the soil to grow grains.. and it uses to energy to do so .. so at the end of the day..if you waste that grain .. essentially.. as in cook more grain that you will eat that day and then wait for it to rot and then throw it back in the soil.. well.. the nutrients in the grain do get recyled but then the energy that the plant used to process those nutrients into grains and fruts is still nevertheless lost.
So yes,, cook only as much as you can eat and don't overeat just coz you don't want to waste either..coz afterall being obese is a burden on your heart which then starts wasting energy carrying around your heavy body around..yeah?
get the point?
don't waste food and save the environment.
there are also other meanings of not wasting food..I always say.. don't peel anything unless absolutely necessary.. we are perfectly equipped to digest peels.. so yes.. unless it is a pineapple or jackfruit..please dont peel them
eat the potatoes with peels, eat the tomatoes with peels , eat the aubergines with peels, eat the apples and pears with peels..Only make sure you throughly wash them before eating..
yes, the onions you might want to peel..but make sure ..you put the onions peels back into your compost pit or the kitchen garden soil..that is effective organic recycling too.
love you all..dont waste food.
