A Solution to Food WasteUp to a third of food grown never makes it to our mouths, and approximately 2.75million tons of food is wasted in Taiwan every year. Confusing expiration dates, oversizedportions, and a general dislike for “ugly” food have contributed to this __42__ globalproblem. Every time we go to a supermarket, we would check out the ripeness of eachkiwi, inspect every inch of apples, and put any misshapen vegetables aside. But is it worthit? Do we really have to be so concerned with our groceries’ appearance? The firstsupermarket that __43__ sells surplus foods – those that are ugly in appearance or pasttheir expiration date – opened its doors in Copenhagen, Denmark. The store, WeFood, isgiving “ugly” food a chance to shine. WeFood takes the food other supermarkets orsmaller grocery shops would have thrown away and sells it at a __44__ price. Theirpurpose is to reach out to those shoppers who are concerned about the amount of foodwaste produced in their society. While the food on WeFood shelves may look a little lessappealing than the groceries people are accustomed to buying, it is still just as edible. And   even if a product has an expiration date that’s just passed, it’s likely still safe forconsumption too. That’s because “use-by” and “best-by” dates are usually justmanufacturer suggestions for peak quality days. But nearly half of customersmisunderstand these __45__ and take them to show the last day that something is edible.This leads to a lot of perfectly good food in the trash, and a lot of extra dollars spent in thestores. Let’s hoping that people will become aware of the serious problem concerning foodwaste and this food waste revolution will continue to spread.
