REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Cindy Delgado 4/29/2020 7:17 PMYes that figures surprises me and is disconcerting. That money could go towards so many other things such as helping where it is needed. -
