If you listen to one of the Tilea Infomercials....well... to hear them
put it we ALL toss away tons of food.
Of course they are trying to sell us something.
Now I wonder, do they count against us (America as the collective guilty
party in this whinefest) the parts we don't commonly use like entrails,
rocky mountain oysters, brains, etc? Parts of the animal or plant that
don't even come into our homes yet *could* be eaten if one was
inclined.....?
