Britain's food waste problem
OK, it's past its sell-by date, but this is – or was – food.

Grown, produced, processed and discarded; a super-size serving of stinking waste.
这些食物残渣都曾被种植、加工，被丢弃；最后沦为一滩臭气熏天的超大号垃圾。

Which is good news here at the Melton Learning Hub, where disadvantaged kids get good fresh food.

Lots of different circumstances the young people come to us in and this is a brilliant way of using food that would, as you say, go to waste.”

But most of our discarded food still goes to the incinerator or to landfill - perhaps the definition of waste in a hungry world.
