LONDON, UK, August 08, 2015 /PressReleasePing/ - You could save close to £100 per month

just by making good use of your Freezer.

Love Food Hate Waste suggests we throw away 7 million tonnes of food and drink each year from homes in the UK.

According to Love Food Hate Waste, this is due to either preparing too much food at once, or not using enough in time.

In addition, according to Which? a recent investigation by online retailer Appliances Direct found that 65% of people throw away food because they are unsure of whether the product can be frozen or not.

A survey of 1000 British adults saw 65% admit to throwing away food and produce due to lack of storage knowledge.

Luckily, companies like Assuranty Nationwide post numerous blogs relating to topics such as fridge food storage tips as well as freezer maintenance to assist in the knowledge stakes.

The outcome of the Appliances Direct survey suggests that the average family could save up to £90 a month on its grocery bills, just by freezing meat, fish and poultry items, as well as leftover cooked meals.

Likewise, Love Food Hate Waste suggests that wasting food costs the average household between £500-700 a year.

These statistics sound harsh, but nonetheless very realistic if you take the time to consider your own food loss habits.

However, there are ways these losses can be reduced.

In line with the research undertaken by Appliances Direct, savings can be made simply by making the most of your Freezer.

Freezing meat, poultry and fish items when purchased, enables you to not cook more than needed at one time and also allows for potion control. However if you prefer, you can still cook the whole product, yet freeze the leftovers once cooled. Whichever method you prefer, you will equally save on the excess/leftover food.

    Analysis of Food Inc.

    Studies have shown that many people all over the world are unaware of where their food comes from. When an individual goes to consume a food product, he or she could be completely oblivious to the methods of manufacture, processing, packaging or transportation gone into the production of the food item. It is often said that ‘ignorance is bliss’ – perhaps this rings true in the case of food, its origins and its consumption as well. In such a scenario, eating well could seem like an unlikely prospect. The definition of ‘eating well’ in modern times seems to have gone from eating healthily, to eating ethically. The manner in which food is produced and consumed has changed more rapidly in the past fifty years than it has in the previous ten thousand years (Pollan and Schlosser, 2008). With this swift transformation, various ethical issues came to the fore. Food production is now done large scale in factories, rather than in farms. Mass production of various types of food, from crops and vegetables to seafood and meat, is very much the norm. The fact that food is mass produced nowadays is already something that a lot of people do not know about. The reason behind this is that food producing firms do not want the consumers – their customers – to know too much about the food manufacturing industry (Pollan and Schlosser, 2008), in the fear that customer loyalty could be lost upon their finding out various truths. To retain their customer base, according to documentary film ‘Food, Inc.’, narrated by Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the image associated with food in the United States of America is that of an American farmer. Various motifs plastered all over food packaging and advertisements for food products, such as green pastures for grazing cattle, picket fences, the typical farmhouse, vast meadows and, most importantly, the farmer, lead consumers to believe that their food still comes from farms, or at least a pastoral version of small time cottage industries. With…

    Food waste is not just consumers throwing dinner scraps away. Producing, distributing, storing and cooking food uses energy, fuel and water. Each of these emits greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. Looking at emissions of uneaten food from farm to table, the researchers found that food wasted at the consumer phase had the highest carbon footprint. Some food spoils before farmers can harvest it, other food goes bad on its way from the farm to the market, and still more food ends up rotting on supermarket shelves that's because by the time food gets to that stage, it's already accumulated emissions from production, harvest, and distribution. In other words, when chuck food that you buy at the supermarket, you're throwing away every part of the process that has gotten it there, as well.…
