food waste

Many british families lose a lot of money every year because they throw away food.

Half of the food goes from thier refrigetaros into the garbage.

This information comes from a new report on food  waste by researchers at Manchester College.

The report gives a few reasons for this waste .one reason that people throw away food they  can still eat is the confusing information on food packaging .People don’t know if the information on the packaging shows the last day to buy the food or the last day to eat it .

People also throw away good food because it doesn’t look fresh.

Another reason  for waste is that attractive sales make people buy more food than they need

After a week or two the food becomes bad and they have to throw it away.supermarkets are looking for ways to stop the waste.One way is to make information on food packaging clearer.Another way is to suggest how to keep food fresh for a longer time.They will also end their “buy one,get one free” sales.
