REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use

In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for utilizing every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable, including the skins, tops, and stalks during your next meal prep?

I have been keeping track of my waste and storing it to reuse in my meal preps. Meal prepping was something I had been doing since I started weightlifting, so it has been fun to figure out how much my intake is.
