Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Sometimes, we buy food and forget to eat it. A banana, for example, will turn black and gross in about a week. Then, we must throw it away. We waste a lot of good food doing this, and so do restaurants and stores.

Now, there’s a new idea for recycling food. A food-waste restaurant makes old food into something tasty. This special restaurant uses food that is almost expired and quickly cooks it before it goes bad.

Hi all, I didn’t understand why they call meals with expired products – a gourmet meal? Do you know any examples of such kind of meals?


I think that idea about providing starving people in the world with almost rot food is very difficult logistic task which becomes more difficult because of short term of delivering. I’m not sure about it.



I try to buy enough food and do not throw it away.

Wasteful Expenditure or prodigality (Israf) is a great sin in my religion and also I think in all religions!

No I dont waste food at all!


I manage to cook enough and even the last piece will be eaten by the family!


Sometimes cats enjoy of a little leftover foods! Of course we buy special food for cats! 😸


In fact I dont know what happen for expired foods but I think the stores and resturants have to obliterate expired foods by law!


I hope they dont repackage and sell them again to people and we think the foods are always sell by date!


It is a good idea if we could recycle the old foods to make animal foods or using as fertalizer!


Or before they become expired give them to people who are starving!


It is much more better than thowing away the foods!

I think that the food is a lot waste. In my country in Italy there are also many dog and animals that died for the angry.There are a lot of animal house that have need the food and the restaurant must give them the food free.

Such a good concept is Andy telling Kelsey. With millions of people going hungry around the world, and  at the end of the day food chains and restaurants  throw it away tons of still edible food because they can´t be sold next day. Isn´t this a sin ? .In my country, poor people each night line up in front of restaurants to receive this food that otherwise would be dumped in the trash bin. In Brazil , they have open-air food markets. During the day fruits and vegetables are sold at the regular price ,and at closing time what is left is sold to poor people at a much cheaper price.
