Unfortunately for Freegan's, small independent shops have started to eradicate the food waste that the chains have created. After top chef's have lived and seen the waste that too much packaging has created they are shocked how much perfectly good food is thrown away. One top TV chef commentated how it was stupid to through away a dozen eggs if only one was broken, fruit and veg through one out of 'six' being bruised... so the whole punnet has to be chucked. Meat... that somehow (as the chef's laughed) goes off at midnight... like Cinderella dress turning back... the big shops have brainwashed us into throwing food away and that is a disgrace.

Yet the smaller shops are bringing back the principles of buying loose. No longer packaged, the fruit is loose and not bound by the condition of it's neighbour. That mother nature does not say a cucumber is 25.56mm x 320.149mm.
