Day 67
Eat what you buy and buy what you need. Twenty-seven percent of all food produced in North America is wasted. Don't be shy to doggy-bag the half plate of food that you didn't eat.
27% is shameful...more than 1/4 of food produced in Canada and the USA is just thrown out. Tsk, tsk North Americans....other countries are starving and we just throw it away like it's nothing!
This sounds like a giveaway topic. Watch for a new giveaway this week!
It's unsettling to see how much food that us North Americans waste each and every day! This giveaway will focus on ideas on how to reduce the amount of food waste by reworking leftovers into NEW meal ideas!!
TASK:
Share the details of the original dinner and then how you have re-worked the leftovers to make an entirely new meal idea.
For example: We make too many boiled potatoes a lot of the time for dinner, so we cut up the leftovers into 1/4 inch slices and fry up for breakfast or put into the oven to roast with some spices for a snack.
ENTERING:
You may enter the contest only ONE time weekly. Opens on March 10, 2011 and the first random draw will take place on March 24th.
PRIZES:
Every 2nd Thursday, a winner will be randomly drawn from the entries to win a $5 gift card from Shoppers Drug Mart or the winner may choose to donate their prize to purchase $5 worth of food products to be donated to food drives/banks.
If we get lots of participants, then the game will continue on an ongoing basis.
ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all forum members. Maximum of 1 entry per week, per person. The first draw date is today, March 24th! Next draw date is April 7, 2011.
There are some great suggestions already posted and we're looking forward to learning more ways to use up leftover foods! Good luck everyone!
