From John Vaughan, York, UK
I was going to take issue with James Wong’s assertion that wasted food could feed 2 billion people (4 December 2021, p 28). I was going to say that, in the studies I have seen, the idea that one-third of all food is wasted is only true if you include the parts often considered inedible, like banana skins and broccoli stems.
But it got me thinking: we chuck a lot of “inedible” veg “waste” into the compost, and we use quite a lot of stock cubes. I am now going to have a go at making my own stock.
