    I have found that being on a particular diet for health can be contradictory with trying to not waste food. "Do I eat this before it spoils and eat too much or keep healthy and waste spoiled food".".

    I made a slow cooker meal yesterday.  Yum. My own recipe.  Let it cool on the counter. Forgot about it til the morning. Sob. Had to toss more that 3 pounds of food.

      Hi Daniel, great question! The EcoChallenge is only capturing food waste for people, so you wouldn't count cat food.
