A few of the findings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meal leftovers (74%) and fresh produce (67%) were among the most likely to end up in garbage at home.<\/li>\n<li>Spoiled or stale food (83%) was the top reason foods ended up in garbage at home.<\/li>\n<li>When grocery shopping, 75% said they always or sometimes considered food waste. When eating out, 58% did so.<\/li>\n<li>Respondents tried most to reduce food waste by storing to maximize shelf life (60%), keeping an organized pantry (54%), making a grocery list (51%), and using a meal plan (48%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can read the report of findings <a href=\"https:\/\/foodinsight.org\/consumers-perception-food-waste\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>\u201cNot bloke-ified enough?\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This article in the <em>Newspaper Research Journal <\/em>involves debates on sugar and the supermarket industry in the British national press during 2010-2015.
