Canadians throw out
35 million tonnes of food
each year.
Much of it edible.
If only there were ways
to produce more wisely,
consume more responsibly,
redirect surplus.
It is evening, and
my cat stares at me.
Her bowl is half full,
but
she won’t touch it.
These salmon-and-chicken bites
– perfectly edible –
are leftovers from the morning.
She wants fresh.
