REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

We decided to keep track of food we throw away and try to figure out if there is a better way of using scraps such as bell pepper cores, orange peels, and carrot peels. We have been keeping track to see if there is any variations we can make in our diet, and if we do throw anything away.

I will start collecting them to make broth with!
