Bonnie Scott 10/08/2018 12:18 PMBuying fruit and vegetables individually instead of going for a quantity discount by buying 3# pre-bagged -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Whole Foods DietMichael Pollan states that "it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor." What are your thoughts on this?
Bonnie Scott 10/06/2018 1:22 PMThis is a hard one. I reflected upon this and wrote my reflections but then decided I need to reflect some more before publishing it. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Zero-Waste CookingIn 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?
Bonnie Scott 10/05/2018 4:01 PMLet’s see- with a cucumber that’s easy. Head of lettuce, just chop,the core into bits and toss it in the salad. Does it count if you use the core to start a new plant? Tha’s what I do with celery and the rest goes in the salad. Soup is a good way to use every bit of the vegetable although I seldom cook soup in this hot weather. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Reduce Single-Use DisposablesBringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Bonnie Scott 10/02/2018 6:38 AMI’ve tried to reduce single-use plastic by bringing metal straws with me and plastic containers for leftovers. I have fabric bags for shopping. If I am only buying a handful of items, I refuse the bag and just carry the items by hand to my car. What I sometimes remember to do is bring my own cup for to-go coffee. I need to speak up at restaurants and ask them to stop automatically bringing straws. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn 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. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Bonnie Scott 9/30/2018 9:14 AMHaving two rescue dogs helps add to the zero waste. Vegetable and fruit trimmings not eaten by the rescue rehabbing native parrot go to the soldier crabs. We send zero food waste to the dum
