I would love to learn more tips on keeping fruit, etc, from spoiling. As far as bananas…a great tip I’ve incorporated is that when the bananas are too soft to eat, I peal them, wrap them in plastic wrap & then a ziploc bag & put them in the freezer. They make the best fruit smoothies, because they both sweeten & thicken the smoothie as well as make it nice & cold. I also use them to make banana nut breads.

Seeing as the problem in America is obesity, not hunger I think that throwing away uneaten food is better than stuffing your face with it just so it doesn’t go to waste. It’s better that those fatsos eat 3/4 of the pizza and throw away the rest than to force the whole thing down their throats.

Peeling an apple or cutting of the crust always seemed to me like a stupid idea to be honest. Both these things add flavor, plus when you take a slice of bread and cut off the crust, you lose what, 20% ? that’s just dumb
I’m looking forward to more specific tips

IDEA: To *really* save food, why not treat your daughters to a “pasta buffet”. Cook up a pot of pasta and serve it with small bowls of chopped peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, peas, whatever. Elli and Bella (and their super-cool parents) can each choose what they want to add to their individual bowl of pasta. You cook once, but everybody gets exactly what they like, and the girls will probably have a blast creating their own artistic meal!
