Is the Pumpkin Lady an Unsung Hero of Our Age of Waste?
The great Discard Studies just published a series of graphics about food waste that convey some pretty astounding information, like the fact that 40% of all food produced in the United States is wasted. One graphic, which includes information about what we can do to avoid wasting food includes this note: “‘Use-by’ expiration dates contain no information about food safety - most food stays good enough to eat long after that date passes.” It seems that the pumpkin lady was onto something after all!
