00:00Now what we've seen through our research is that food is wasted the most on Friday, Saturday

00:09and Sunday. And one of the reasons I think this is to do with is because routines go

00:15out the window. Now if you think Monday through to Thursday, we're cooking at home, we're

00:22making our lunches, probably our packed lunches as well. But over the weekend, those leftovers

00:27from Thursday, they probably aren't being used up. And people are going out more, they're

00:34eating on the go, and as a result, food in people's cupboards is being thrown away. In

00:40addition to that, we can start storing our food better. We can utilise our freezers and

00:47fridges. Our freezer is effectively like a pause button for freshness. And if we keep

00:53our freezer at about minus 18 degrees, our food is going to stay fresher for longer.
