‘We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are.’ ~Adelle Davis

Did you know that every household in Ireland is responsible for 117kg of food waste per year. This can work out at a cost of between 500 and 1000 Euro per household per year. Much of the food discarded is actually in date and perfectly usable. The lock downs throughout the year haven’t helped either as we tend to buy more to reduce our visits to the shops.

We’ve all been there and we’ve all thrown out food without thinking of the bigger picture. We live in abundance whereas in many parts of the world its survival on little and nothing.

A simple tip before we go shopping is to check our food cupboard and make a list of what we need and then to buy only what we need. Shops have many special offers but usually of stuff we normally would not buy.

We thank God for the food we eat each day, food that is our lifeline, nourishing and wholesome. May we never waste it or take it for granted.
