 ByAvoidins Food Waste

Cutting down on the food that you put into the garbage can is one way in which every homemaker can participate in the famine ern- ergency program" stated Miss Mir jam Weinrib, community nutrition ist today. We don't expect you to eat bones or skins or coffee grounds but watch out for those edible foods which are frequently thrown out"
 "The need for eliminating food waste Is even more important at this time when we have been asked to share our food with those starv- ing in other parts of the world.
 Planning our meals in advance will help to check food losses be- fore they actually occur. But be- fore doing this take an inventory Of the food you have on hand. Are there any left overs which should be used or will they be forgotten and find their way into the garbage pail? Left over cereals may be sliced and fried. Cheese which has hard ened can be grated and used In cooked cheese dishes such as Welch rarebit. Small amounts of fresh or cooked vegetables can be combined to make a salad or escalloped dish, soup or stew.
 Tn preparing meals, fix only the amount of food your family will eat at one meal unless you plan to use the left over food for another meal. Keep your vegetable peelings thin, or better yet, cook the vege. tables with the skins on. Use as much of the vegetable as possible: Turnip or beet tops may be served as cooked green vegetables. Celery tops can be chopped and used in stews, soups, or salads, or dry them. Chop the outer leaves of cabbage and lettuce for use in green salads.
 Avoid food waste at the table by serving only amounts of food which will be eaten and urge all members of your family to clean their platesl"
