Food Waste Whut?

I totally forgot about food waste Friday! Oh my...
Anyways, I read about this overhere on The Frugal Girl, the idea is that basically you blog every Friday about all the food that you've wasted that week.
Ofcourse the plan is to be able to say that you didn't waste anything ;)
Actually at the moment I have a lot going on in my fridge that will definately be wasted. Such a shame really, I was planning on cleaning out the fridge yesterday but things came in between.

Anyways, my youngest daughter has quite some allergies (soy, eggs, milk-protein, fish, probably nuts/seeds) and since I'm still nursing her, I'm on a diet myself as well. We are doing very well on this diet, or at least, she is, I miss my peanutbutter sandwich ;) But this also means that there are quite some things in my fridge at the moment that I can't have. I'm planning on nursing at least untill her first birthday (hopefully) so there's not really any use for me to stick on to a lot of these products. I'll clean out the fridge first thing tomorrow, probably giving away tons of stuff to my brother who eats about anything, and binning the rest of it.

(how I manage to talk about throwing stuff out and mention the following in the same post is beyond me by the way...)
I'm very much inspired by these short clips about the Zero Waste Lifestyle. This family has online thrown away a handfull of trash in the last four months! A whole family! Can you imagine? Wow!



Both Food Waste Friday and the Zero Waste project got me thinking about how much we throw out that is either perfectly okay (clothes we don't like anymore, food, etc.) but also how much garbage we create by buying everything individually wrapped and not bringing our own bags to the store for example.
I doubt if I can and want to go as far as these ladies have done, but it is definately worth it to try and well, tone it down a little.
