How on Earth do you have such leftovers? We never had food leftovers
here
but I wouldn't put them on the garden compost heap even if we did.

ehhhh, I was possibly joking.

I guessed that, but how can you have any kind of food waste?

It wastes money as well as nutrients. It's also a waste of effort for the
growers, sellers and preparers - even if you prepared it yourself. I
think
that's an insult to those people. If it's animal food it's a waste of a
part
of that animal's life.

It is really easy;

Ah, I see.

I live in a city; I work hard during the day and
sometimes at weekends and evenings; we have kids; we do not have any
livestock (no chickens, no dog; no goat and now no worms); we do
recycle more than almost anyone I know; we are one of the few people
in my area to even have a compost heap; our fridge is full of
leftovers; we grow some of our own veg (in our suburban back garden);
it is still impossible to avoid throwing stuff out and have a life.

No it isn't. It just involves a couple of minutes a day planning. It could
take you that long to go to the compost heap.
We already do more than almost anyone I know in the city and the last
10 yards just are not worth it.

I disagree.

After all that, any food that is
still there and that has become dangerous, gets put on the compost
heap or, in the case of the fois gras and caviar, thrown out.

And I think you mean FOIE gras.
