“The variation in fibre content between the parts of the food we consume and that most throw away was striking. The 'root-to-tip' components in our study represented between 25% and 48% of the total weight of the produce. That means people are discarding a significant portion of the produce we buy. And these are parts of the plant that could help address our dietary fibre deficit.”
“This isn't just a nutritional loss, it's also a financial one; you're effectively throwing away a substantial portion of what you've paid for.”
“What struck me is that these are people who work in healthcare, yet they don't have access a healthy nighttime food environment or tailored dietary advice. These people might have been advised by their doctors to eat healthily to manage their diabetes, but if food choices are limited during the night, they might be unable to do so.”
