Do you waste food poll?

Question

Some people throw out their leftovers. I'll keep leftovers over 7 days. I don't like wasting food. Do you waste food or do you keep it to eat later?

I only keep it 7 days if its a food that does spoil or go to waste as fast as other- If it still tastes good

Answer 1

It's 50/50 with me. Half the time I save it to eat it later, Half the time my dog eats it...which I do not consider wasting food since he's a 200lb English Mastiff and needs plenty to eat.

Answer 2

We don't waste food here in this house. I keep it for a certain amount of days. If we don't eat it by them, I mix it all together and split it up among the dogs. Nothing goes to waste.

Answer 3

I don't eat it 7 days later unless I have frozen it. What I do is throw it out into the woods where I live and something will eat it.

Answer 4

I eat leftovers until they are done. I throw away until they spoil

Answer 5

I'm not a food waster...I do left overs. But 7 days or longer is a little too long to be keeping food.

Answer 6

Unless I think someone will actually eat it later, I throw it out. I don't see the difference between throwing it out immediately or several days later.

Answer 7

If it was good the first time I might keep it a day or two. Or if there is a lot of it, I will save it and feed it to the kids for a day or two...

Answer 8

Actually I only shop every two or three days. I never over stock on food. I eat what I have.

Answer 9

i make large meals purposely for the leftover factor...great for lunches and meals during the week when cooking is the last thing i feel like doing. i freeze mini made up meals for us to microwave on demand...there's very little waste, if any, involved.

Answer 10

We keep ours for 2 days then we throw it out. you can get really sick eating food that's been sitting to long.
