00:00No, I try not to waste anything, nothing at all.
00:04But it's hard, but...
00:05And we understand why shops are dubious in case claims, whatever, but...
00:10I'm old school now.
00:11I cook from scratch, I do, I do.
00:15I've been brought up like that, and I do.
00:17Because all this processed food is bad for your health.
00:20We live in a consumerist society, don't we?
00:22I have a daughter, and she's always buying stuff,
00:25and then the fridge is full of stuff,
00:27and then everything gets blocked at the back of the fridge.
00:30I think this is a typical thing of a lot of families now.
00:34And I'm forever going, trying to push things to the front, doesn't happen.
00:38Being careful about being homeless, you see,
00:39and we know the value of food, but you haven't got it,
00:42so we tend to keep it, and we use every bit.
00:45I even use out-of-day food myself, it doesn't bother.
00:47It's a faster pace of life, you know, that's what I think.
00:51And it's the shopping, isn't it?
00:52Because if people finish work, they're just going to do a quick grab
00:55for the family and whatever, and the kids are on holiday now.
01:00So it's, like, convenient, grabbing stuff from the cupboard.
01:04It's a throwaway society. It's a terrible thing.
01:06It doesn't surprise me at all.
01:08And I think, anyway, it's 40% of all the food in the world gets wasted.
01:12Ah, you know, you're talking about the cost of living.
01:16How can people afford it?
01:18You know?
01:19You've got to think twice.
01:20How can you afford it?
01:21Yeah, what's the value?
01:21I mean, with myself, I might get something maybe once a fall,
01:25and I get a chippy meal or something, but, no, it's just a lot of money.
01:29And then I, like, a chippy meal or something, but it's just a lot.
01:29And the consistency of the food in the world's life is a lot of money.
