Feeding the 5000 showed people in London the insane level of food waste going on every day by preparing a feast for thousands with discarded and unwanted food. A crooked carrot might be tossed at a supermarket because aesthetically that carrot isn't desirable. Shockingly, all of the world's nearly one billion hungry people could be nutritiously fed on less than a quarter of the food that is wasted in the US, UK, and Europe.
"The bread and other cereal products thrown away in UK households alone would have been enough to lift 30 million of the world's hungry people out of malnourishment." Source.Food businesses, restaurants and retailers are asked to sign up to the Feeding the 5000 Pledge and commit to ending the scandalous amount of waste.
