    LOL, you’re not entitled to just assume a study is wrong and that your anecdote or gut feeling is better.

      Actually I am. That’s kind of how thinking for yourself works. I have years of experience that clearly others don’t. I’ve read enough and seen enough on just how much people throw out and it’s pushed me to reduce my actual trash to a min. For a household of 3 adults we trash way less than people who live by themselves. We compost everything we can, recycle/reuse what we can and burn the rest.

      If you or the doofus I responded to had ever actually worked restaurants or grocery stores you would understand what I am saying, but, that would also assume that you have working braincells and aren’t going on just being contrary to argue and feel like you are more than you are.

      You have a nice day now.

        That’s not thinking.

        Anecdotes and feels are not data.

        It’s really weird, but common, for people to think it’s actual data, like you’re doing here.

          Wow. Add another one to the pile.

          I’m not sure you know what an anecdote is.

          I’ve worked for 3 different restaurants, 3 different retail/grocery and likely other jobs that those like you and the other pseudo intellectuals here have probably never heard of nor could you handle.

          Me saying that I would argue that it’s grocery stores at the top Is A) The opposite of anecdotal and B) Something anyone who has actually worked deli/bakery, dairy, etc would agree with me on.

          You fuckwits keep replying to me and I’ll keep blocking you. You have a nice life having to choose between breathing or thinking

            I work in technical support. Shit is always breaking! Nothing ever works right! Everything needs constant fixing by a trained professional! I know because I see it every day and I’ve been doing this for 25 years across many different products!

            (It couldn’t possibly be that I don’t see all the shit that works, because when it’s working, people don’t call me…)

        No, that’s how ignoring facts to fit your personal beliefs work. That’s what Republicans and religious nutters do.

        have years of experience that clearly others don’t

        Guarantee you the people doing the study have enough experience with grocery store waste to know what they’re talking about. Kinda the point of the study.

        If you or the doofus I responded to had ever actually worked restaurants or grocery stores you would understand what I am saying

        Im not either of them and I HAVE worked in those places and DO know that you’re wrong. Checkmate.

        that would also assume that you have working braincells and aren’t going on just being contrary to argue and feel like you are more than you are

        Put this dude in a movie theater cuz that’s some damn fine projection

          It’s amazing to me. You have no idea what you are talking about here.

          You have a nice life now and hopefully you’re unwillingness to exercise your brain won’t let rot it sooner than it should but we all know it probably already is.

        Ok, I’ll bite.

        How many people do you think shopped at your grocery store?

        On average, how much food do you think they each wasted per week at home?

        How much food per week did your store waste?

        How typical do you think these numbers are nationwide?
