Tonnes of perfectly good food is thrown away in the UK every year. Why, asks Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

What a terrible waste of good food, makes me ask the question why is this so called waste not given to people on very low incomes with all the Government cuts now coming in.

I agree Mo, it is wicked

Disgusting, to waste such good food.

Is it mostly to do with money? cause if no one can make a profit they rather throw it away than give it to those in needy - where is the sense of throwing it away? coffeex

think of all the parsnip soup that could be made with it.
stupid.

Norwich is doing something

A brilliant program.

I couldn't believe how much that farm was having in waste. No wonder they were so upset.

There was nothing wrong with those parsnips and as for the shape! Good grief how can people be put off by th shape of something do natural and uncontrollable

I hate to see food wasted so I think Norwich Foodhub is a good idea which could be copied elsewhere.

we have a food bank in lougborough

There is a food bank in Burgess Hill and there is a collection point in Waitrose and Tesco to leave dry goods.

We always copy the USA, I wish we could copy a little more of their kindness to fellow beings.

So disgusting all our waste
