Weekly blog 5/9 - 13/ 16



Summary: 
          Food is thrown away because it look ugly, has bruises or has scratches because they won't sell. The average person throws away about 20 pounds of food each month. There are about 50 million people struggling to get food in there house while others are just throwing away good food. Best by, use by, and sell by dates do not show when food is bad it is usually just the deadline for when food is the freshest. About 80% of the world eats insects and that helps reduce food waste. Without insects we would not be alive.



SP7: Engaging in argument from evidence: Did you participate in a class discussion providing evidence for your answers, and/or used the ACE strategy in your work?
          I participated in 2 class discussions this week providing evidence for my answer. They both were Stun Conferences about food waste. In the first stun conference we talked about how we should sell foods that do not look perfect for less money instead of putting them in the trash. People talked about different  ideas and some facts about it from different sources. In the second one it was hard to hear but we talked about efficient cooking where we talked about how we could cut down on waste like making a cooking calendar and having sections in your fridge for leftovers. Some of the ideas were from sources I read.
