That's what my parents did growing up. They didn't have a refrigerator and when they got one, it was super small.

when i rode transit every day to work, that's exactly what i used to do. i'd just stop on the way home, then pick up the next bus going my way.

Yeah that works. Especially because you could do it once a week at a farmer's market and get the really good stuff. I was doing that for a while.

It’s will ferrell lol

People have said the title, but fun fact those are real skeletons not prop replicas

Poltergeist, maybe…

I thought “Poltergeist” but I may be wrong.

It's the episode of Lassie where Martha falls into the cesspit

Poltergeist.

Yes.

They can't stop you from ordering a steak and a glass of water!

I miss when heavy discounts like that were common. Much harder to find now. They usually manage to sell it off at much lower discounts instead.

People have different sensitivity to smells; I wouldn't trust my nose to detect when something starts to spoil, and when it completely went awry I am able to see it anyway.

Most things I eat don't even need a sniff test. You can see and feel veg is going off before you can smell it and its safe to eat for longer than I am willing to eat it. Its only once it starts going mouldy or slimy that its unsafe.

Soy sauce, honey, salt, dried herbs are essentially never going off. Worst with herbs is reduced flavour, but I grow my own. Been meaning to make a smoked salt and herb mix sometime. Got to actually smoke some salt though.

Even more free food waste!

As long as you live somewhere plum trees can grow! (Cries in taiga)

So succinct, so poetic.

Once the skin dries out like that, and you paint it, wouldn't it continue to degrade over time?

It was a change in perspective that completely changed the way I think about food.

I used to buy in bulk and throw away far too much. Then I started thinking about the journey behind everything I was wasting. The chicken I was about to throw in the garbage was once a living animal, cared for on a farm, before being processed, packaged, frozen, transported, and stocked in a supermarket all for me to eventually throw it away.

The same applies to everything we eat. Fruit has to be grown, watered by nature, picked, packaged, transported, and stored before it reaches us.

That perspective changed the way I see food. Now, whenever I look at something I’m about to eat or waste, I see the time, resources, people, and life that went into getting it there. It has made me far more conscious of what I buy, what I use, and what I throw away.

thats what i do to test them. lots of floaters
