ТЕКСТ Freegans against supermarket waste It is World Food Day on 16th October, so the local freegan group is organizing protest actions against food waste. Who are we? We, freegans, believe that it is wrong to throw food away when millions of people are hungry. We get most of our food from supermarket waste bins because we want to draw attention this unacceptable food waste scandal.The facts Over one third of all food supplies end up as waste and much of this waste occurs before food reaches the shops. Supermarkets can force farmers to throw away up to 40% of their crops if they are imperfect - not all the same size or not looking nice. A UK survey has shown that each year our shops waste over six million tonnes of food and a lot of it is perfectly safe to eat, including: - 48 million pots of yoghurt 1.6 billion apples -2.6 billion slices of breadWhat we want We aren't against supermarkets, we just want them to change their insensitive attitude and reduce all this unnecessary waste. They should: Say exactly how.much food they thraw.away and try to reit • Give the ld harities which distribute it to poor people • Sell fruit and vegetables that don't look perfect. What you can do Supermarkets won't change if only a few people protest. If we all boycott the supermarkets, they'll listen to us.
