Hi Martina, thank you for your post and support of the posting initiative.

I asked for three things, passion, personality and effort and you have injected a good dose of each into this post.

It's interesting how the world's population embraces, values even, the want over need mentality in all things, speaking generally of course. Society seems to have the desire to consume more and more, to want more than they need although in attaining more, one only wants more again...Consumerism does't lead to satisfaction, just unhappiness for one is never content. Clearly it extends to food also.

The food wastage here in my country, Australia, is mind-boggling and whilst there's a few initiatives running to mitigate the wastage they are only a small drop in a vast ocean.

Anyway, this is an informative post, and I can only applaud you for running the week-long experiment and I'm sure it was a little bit of an eye-opener for you.

Thank you for you excellent entry, and I hope you have an enjoyable weekend.
