Default Do you waste food?

I have 20 tomatoe plants. I've noticed that I just toss a lot of
tomatoes that can really be used for soup or stew. Guess if I only had
one plant I would salvage blems by cutting out the bad parts. However
I'm just letting produce rot if it has a little blem or if it's a
little pass prime. Well it's not total waste since it just get
recycled in the soil. It's not like stuff being tossed by businesses
that end up in a landfill.



I keep the tomatoes with flaws for myself, I don't mind cutting around
the bad spots. I give the perfect tomatoes to friends and co-workers
when I have extras.


You can buy a lot of good karma with a few home grown tomatoes.
