Andy Wallace has invited me to dinnerwhile I interview him, so I meet him at eight oclock, not at some charminglocal cafe or new Japanese sushi bar, but at the back of the local supermarketbeside the rubbish bins. Have a tuna sandwich - they look delicious. Andheres some almond croissants. Fantastic
Andyis a freegan - pronounced /fri:gan/. He can perfectly well afford to buyfood, but he chooses not to as a protest against our shamefully wastefulconsumer society. This food is perfectly good and could have fed at leastthirty people. According to a recent government survey, up to a third of thefood we buy is thrown away, which in the UK amounts to a staggering £420 of wastedfood per adult per year. Lord Haskins, the governments food and farmingadviser, said, We are very greedy when we go and shop. Our eyes are biggerthan our stomachs in homes and in restaurants. However, according to Andy, thegovernment itself is simply not doing enough in the first place to combat thisincredible waste.The food redistribution charity, Fareshare, specialises incollecting high-quality food before it is past its sell-by date, and taking itto the many charities who feed our countrys poor and vulnerable. If we wereable to redistribute as muc food as they do in the states, we could give out atleast 50,000 tonnes of free food a year. If only our governmentsupported thesefood redistribution charities, along with forcing our food businesses tocooperate, then it would be possible.
Freegansfeel strongly that our wasteful consumerist culture with all its endlessproducing, packaging, buying and binning, is entirely to blame for thedestruction of the planet. I just never buy food, he explains. For manypeople, Freeganism will be a step too far, but it serves to highlight theshameful waste of millions of tons of food every year in the UK.
