    Food Keep Track of Wasted Food
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

    Anna Colombo 6/10/2020 1:45 PM
    Ideally I would spend this money to fund soup kitchens or organisations that provide food to people in need.
    It would be also good if this money could fund school projects that can help children understand what they can do in their families to prevent food from being thrown out.

    I eat a lot of cocoa based food🙁 while in my country there is a huge campaign against the use of palm oil, little is known about the impact that cocoa cultivation has on deforestation. Next time I go shopping, I will buy some chocolate produced by the Fair Trade Alliance and feel less guilty when eating it.

    Food Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates
    How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

    Anna Colombo 6/08/2020 2:38 PM
    There is a lot of confusion around these dates, so knowing the difference can really help consumers throw away food that is still edible.

    So much food for thought and a pressure to take action. I knew Femme International already and I think they are really making an impact on the lives of Tanzanian girls.
