This is the content we need. Saving the planet, little by little.
carcinoGeneticist nah screw the planet
Hunter White You live on this planet though? Might as well take care of it for future generations.
Hunter White um...
they only did it for a WEEK
Stoppable Yes, they only did the challenge for a week, but the compost system they implemented is permanent which makes a huge, lasting difference.
Genuinely surprised that they were just THROWING food away. And that they’re like, “omg i made MORE FOOD from my leftovers.” Like, that’s what you’re supposed to do! Like... in shock right now. That’s gotta be such ignorance right there! But good on them for changing their habits!
I agree!
Agree! Americans are kind of weird, why do they throw away food that is still good to eat? They also must have straws in every drink, just why that's too childish.
ikr
Yes, so happy they changed for a couple hours a day but like duuuuude do you realise there are literal COUNTRIES filled with starving children and they're just casually throwing whole ass plates of food out....
This comment is to tasty not you hehe
100% agreed
Donating the food to the homeless would be the best thing to do. Instead of throwing it out. Producing no food waste is definitely a task
i guess there can be health risks and concerns if they donate the food to homeless... in case of food gone bad and people may sue buzzfeed/tasty for it
Good suggestions
Yan Sun I just wanted to jump in to say that the possible health risks are an issue that the organisation to which the food is donated takes care of by checking everything. In addition, even if somebody does get sick from the donated food, buzzfeed can’t get sued unless there’s evidence they donated spoiled food to get people sick on purpose. It’s a common misconception companies can get sued over donated food. It’s great you’re thinking about the health of the homeless people, I just wanted to share this information. Have a nice day!
Yan Sun lol
I agree to some extent. If you have some salad left over, either finish it later or give it to a homeless person. Don't let it sit on your fridge for a week to rot. Know your capacity and don't over-order food or cook too much of it.
But there's still the food scraps and food gone bad. We can't eliminate food waste completely but there's certainly things we can do to make it better.
Maybe I'm a bit naive, but I'm a bit shocked that food is thrown away so easily there! For me it's absolutely normal to keep leftovers in a box for the next day(s)! I live in Germany and I think the majority of people here rather keep leftovers than throw loads of perfectly fine food in the bin! But it's great that the mindset of composting and saving food is starting to spread, other parts of the world have already been doing that for ages! ;)
My Yeah I think there’s that attitude here because of a convenience thing. It actually irritates me so much when people say they don’t like leftovers and insist on having every meal freshly cooked. The freshly cooked part bothers me mainly when it’s men who have their wife doing all the cooking but in general when every meal has leftovers and they are just being thrown out because they just won’t eat it. You can absolutely just cook smaller portions if you really don’t want leftovers.
In Scotland we have had green composting bins in like every home for YEARS now.
Yeah lived in Germany and Japan and we compost at home
Maverick Baking same in England.
i wish america was like that
Same in Belgium
Same in Germany. It's normal for me to do it. I'm always shooked when people throw their food waste in the wrong trash bin.
I live in Sweden, and ever since I was a child we got to learn about composting and it's a natural thing to do here in Sweden. So knowing about this... is shocking...
In Swiss too but we still call it Food wasting when we composting!
Andreas Reinhold same in Germany
Same in Finland.
Same in Canada
Same in the Netherlands
It was a perfectly good half avocado. Can't believe it could just go to the compost like that.
Ariadna Gaytan I thought she made a salad with that leftover avocado
She made a salad with it
Why wasn't there a compost bin before? Building regulations I do guess, but it didn't really seem like such a big issue thay couldn't have done before. All the things these employees were 'realising' in this video are just common sense, like "instead of throwing away food, we can just eat it!" Like what wasn't that blatantly clear to you even before you guys got a compost bin?
Very disappointed they were throwing away all that perfectly good food considering the amount of cooking they do, and all the articles that Buzzfeed especially pumps out regarding food waste and environmentalism. At least they've started now.
Sevina Lee jup, was kinda shocked too, the hummus, the stuff that guy wanted to throw away (chives on top). Why is it not common to eat all your food. Most stuff is still good after a few days.... Truly sad...
I've worked for a super Walmart, and a Taco Bell in the past. Some managers let you eat the food and some don't. But overall we aren't supposed to. At my current job lets say a pack of pens gets ripped open and ONE pen is damaged or missing. We have to throw out the GOOD pens. We're not allowed to use them. Why? Legal issues. That's it. It's not just food that's going to waste. So much of the crap my current workplace throws away isn't garbage.
WorldWalker128 this kind of company behavior is nightmarish but so common in the western world and developed countries. I've been working partime as a waitress for 7 years now and there have only been two companies that allowed there staff to take left over food home. Everything else is thrown away (to the compost small blessing).
And throwing away the whole thing because one is broken or not looking nice enough should be outlawed... But where there's money and imagined overflow of resources no one wants to bat an eye
Some companies don’t have enough money for it or don’t think it’s that important to do or take care of because they rely on other people when they don’t have to do what they do!!!
I'm sitting here eating the cup that came with the cup noodles for extra nutrients
okayyy?!?
H
mood
I’m not only eating the cup my cup noodles came in but I’m also eating the fork I used to eat the noodles and the plastic wrap and the paper cover of the cup noodles
Veridian You just made my night😂
Composting doesnt help the hungry children in america. Instead of dumping food waste into the ground, you are just feeding it to worms
I was wondering what tasty does with their food demos!
Harshil Patel I don’t get it?
I think they share it with their coworkers either for lunch or just for snack?
Harshil Patel every buzzfeed video I go to you’re literally the top comment
?@*@@*!;#÷_
Your always here
As an Asian our house hold never really wasted edible food so it was shocking to see this lmao
ashiri
Ikr.
I think it’s not that big of a deal. Here in Germany we have at least 4 trashcans in our kitchen. One for paper, one for composting, one for plastic and one for waste ( everything that doesn’t fit in one of the other categories) 😬 don’t get me wrong, I appreciate it that they’re caring about that because it will help all of us. No matter where you live
Tim Mahlkuch yup in most of Europe that's just what we've been doing for 15-30 years I'm honestly shocked it's such a novelty to them lol
Yeah when I visited my German family I was so thrilled with the waste system and I kept exclaiming about it and admiring it and offering to take the apartment's waste down to the big bins outside and they were all like, "What is your poor country like, you strange child*?"
*I was eighteen.
Where I grew up, we had to drive our recycling to the recycling facility outside of town ourselves if we didn't want it to end up in a landfill.
Question: has tasty tried donating left over food to the homeless? I think it'd be great if you could help the community as well!
PS. Great job! That effort goes a long way and proud of y'all
Unicornsnow Studio That sounds like a great use but as Buzzfeed the company doing that I could see how they might want to avoid it for legal reasons.
I grew up during the war in Croatia in the '90s so abundance was something I wasn't used to. Even today with my PhD in pharmacy im doing very well for myself I hate wasting food. If I'm not planing on eating leftovers I usually make less so I eat in for one meal.
Yeah I'm from the US but also had a lot of food insecurity in my teens and young adulthood. Of course nothing on par with your experience! But I don't waste food much either. Feels wrong.
Jesus!!!!! they were throwing away all the leftovers WTF?????
minkakemi IKR
How about SHARING them with the less fortunate?
Or donate them to a Food Bank?
Midnight Cravings 💔💔💔💔there are still some people with golden heart like you
you cant just donate anything to a food bank, it has to be regulated and they have specific parameters, lefter overs are most likely on of the big contributions.
You want them to share a banana peel or rotten food?
You also can’t donate to the homeless because they could sue you in some cases. If the food poisons or does anything harmful to their body.
I think that would be great but you can't really donate fresh food
at first I was really confused why it would be such a great deal to do composting because I am from Germany where it is standart to compost and sometimes I forget that this isn't the standart ^^'
But that just makes it even better that you went through this to organize a way to compost in your office!
Yeah there's a rule in kfc...the food left after the closing hours should be thrown away.. it cant be taken by any of the worker or shouldn't be given to the beggers.This breaks my heart, 💔
Yeah. It's because if it goes bad during the day and makes someone sick later, it can be blamed on KFC or other fast food corporations who have the same rule.
Eden 27 But if it was good enough to serve before the store closed, why would it go bad a few minutes after it closed?
Mark Ryans
Ikr! It's incredible how much good food gets thrown out!
Mark Ryans it’s really easy to get sued from homeless people if they’re given food because it can give them food poisoning
It's Brandon
I worked at one place that wouldn't even let me take home bread to the BIRDS.
It all goes to a landfill. Cuz they don't want to get sued. SMH.
Mommy's lesson: Never waste your food 🍇
my mom would smack me if i waste food
SREEHARI K NAIR , yes so true!!
I'm stunned! It took me far to long to figure out what to write because I couldn't believe it was this bad.
I'm from Sweden and I've never seen this type of behaviour in my 30 years of living. Meaning we had it better in the 90's than you seem to have it now.
Talking about work places; We have general garbage cans by some desks, but none in the kitchen since everything gets sorted. Compost, metal, glas, paper, plastic, cardbord etc. We even help out sorting already thrown things if they ended up in the wrong place. It keeps really clean when you sort correctly so putting your hands in one of the containers to move something or break one odd bit off isn't messy at all.
Very few people don't sort at home. Some do put paper and some plastic in the general garbage but mostly you see mixed things like labels or half paper, half plastic. We even have some counties where you legally have to separate food from other burnables before you get to throw it out. In those counties you get bags from the state with different colours to be able to sort them when collecting.
We do throw out a lot of food in Sweden as well. Most are from damage during transport, getting old or damaged in stores and in restaurants. All three are being worked on by reducing restaurant prices after lunch and selling as take aways for dinner, giving away older (not uneatable) fruits to kids or selling at heavely reduced prices in stores and transporting less and in better ways.
All that food is perfectly good to eat and they should donate all that food to homeless people or the less fortunate that don’t have much money to spend on food
Wow honestly im disappointed in the fact that you guys werent doing that and that you just started
at least they start instead of never ? :)
At least they started to now instead of never doing it...
we arent going to be able to say that when global warming consumes us all. "at least the polar bear has one cube of ice left" you should call out people and not use the at least excuse
Aj Acar Okay if we call them out they're going to say "We know and that's why we changed." So what's the problem with using the 'at least' phrase if they're changing already without us calling them out.
You can’t change the past. What’s important is that they’re doing it now, and this video will hopefully inspire others to do the same.
We just have a really big wooden box in our backyard loaded with compost, and chicken wich we also give our scraps to. We don't even live on a farm or anything. Just a normal house.
I don't understand how people eat,and when they're full they throw away the perfectly good food.Wtf?But this was very nice from buzzfeed :)
My daughter and I take all of our raw veggie scraps, like, peels, skins, ends and seeds from all veggies and some leftover meat scraps and we freeze them to put into a crock pot at a later date and make broth. The broth is used for soups, sauces or crock pot dishes. Once the broth is made, the pulp that's left goes into the garden to feed the worms.
I guess you could say
*no tasty wasty*
Is it just me or do I find food waste absolutely weird? In my house we never produced food waste
Wait wtf you guys dont have compost? In Quebec where im from im pretty sure its mandatory.
Lukyniuk where i live in Germany and in Italy too.
We compost on the East Coast of Canada too, it’s crazy to see all of this food get put in the garbage!
The U.S. is. wayyy behind on a lot of stuff lol I didn't even KNOW what composting was growing up, it's ridiculous!
Ursula Garcia I'm sorry, but as a American, how could you not know-
roman lettuce ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It was never taught when I was school, let alone implemented throughout my city. When it comes to green living, we're starting to catch up, but it's still a work in progress.
Honestly, props to you buzzfeed. I've always loved to watch your Tasty videos but I also had this nagging thought in the back of my mind that told me it's probably going to waste afterwards. Now I can watch those videos with a good conscience. Thank you.
Even here in Mexico we have green bin and compost programs
ahh congrats on successfully getting a composting system going on in your office!! u put a lot of hard work into making it work and that’s really inspiring to me as a member of my school’s environmental council. awesome stuff 👍👍👍
in denmark’s capitol we get free composting bins and bags, our food scraps are used to make bus fuel.
5:40 those were perfectly good spring onions. Hurts to see good food wasted!!!
Honestly The lack of a composting Bin feel s Criminal. You're a food Based production You should have had that from The moment you started this business =_=
food I have no use for, very strange concept
Right? If I won't eat it, the boyfriend will.
Every time I watch TASTY videos, I feel very uncomfortable seeing the food that cling to containers not used completely. In other words, while your producers are cooking, when you pour one ingredient to the other, the food in the pouring bowl is not usef to the full, but you simply throw it away. I think you should have scraped the bowl so that not a bit of the food is thrown away! The residue food in a container eventually has to go to sewage, contaminating our rivers and seas. Best chefs never do that. They do not waste any morsel of food.
I hope Tasty producers could be more sensitive enough to understand the concerns of your audience who are mindful of environment issues.
this is the content i love to see...informative, interesting, and entertaining! great job with this video :)
Here in Luxembourg, all the houses have a compost,paper and a glass bin and big plastic bags for recyclable packages :)
I feel like they should’ve given it to homeless people out on the streets instead of composting it
yess
Well i don't think that any homeless would want banana peel and eggshells? Cause that is what you should put in the compost. Not food that is still good to eat...
Annika Vogel not that, the fries they didn’t eat and probably half a sandwich they didn’t want
moonlight yes yes I agree with that. edible food should be eaten ... And scraps and spoiled food should go to the compost.
There's a composting bin in every home in England:) never thought about how nice it actually is since it has become a habit long ago x I'm sure that this video is gonna influence thousands of people to start composting today! Thank you for doing this:)
We foodies know its worth💖
I can’t. Believe how much food we waste
savagers if u sub to me I will sub back
I wish they took all the food scraps and blended it together and drank it instead. It would give my youtube feed a buzz
Kevin Li lmao
🤢
It’s so odd to see other cities/states and whatnot, not composting. Where I live in Canada, we have a large green bin for compost. It’s a habit to put it in the green bin. So glad to see other people saving the world a little bit at the time
merle , you're a great person really and you pushed them to do the right thing which them good as well but you are just awesome for doing that and I hope you be happy in return , thanks for caring about others.
Why did they not compost before? Is composting not a thing in the US? Or biogas?
Helvetica09 I feel like taking compost into offices is pretty difficult cause they’d need to hire an entirely different system to then pick it up and all. Just means more money. I definitely haven’t heard of composting being a huge thing here
Gabriela Almeida Oh okay thanks! It is just so normal to me that everybody divides their trash into compost, burnables, paper, etc etc. Also i did not know that "landfills" where a thing!
Helvetica09 My city gave as an official recycling bin a couple years ago, before that, we weren’t even recycling. Sad.
One thing that is nice about living in the country is we can throw compostable food out in the garden or yard. Both the soil and animals will use it.
What kind of ‘eco-enthusiast’ isn’t already composting their food waste?! And throwing food away so easily good lord 😫
I don’t know about other cities in the US but in mine we have an extra fee to have a Yard Waste bin. It’s a huge bin where you can put in vegetation, food scraps, paper and anything compostable.
I understand why there is a fee, because everything is a business. If it was included in your normal garbage bill as standard instead of optional would be better. Or an option for a smaller bin so smaller fee for those who may not need it for big amounts of yard waste and just food scraps.
The best way to reduce compost waste bins is to save seeds from vegetables and fruit scraps to start projecting home grown planted seeds into soils to reuse scraps for producing plants. Or why not save the scraps for farmers to grow cropa
This is an awesode video concept!!!!
that they should have already known how to do without making a video of it.
I'm glad in my country, most people have a food waste bin, regular bin, cardboard bin, and recycling bin.
Wow a nicely produced buzzfeed video... for once..
this is so strange to me because in Canada composting is like a norm for us and has been for as long as i can remember. Each house has is own compost bin, recycling bin, and garbage bin.
Wait.. this is not normal in america??
Most businesses and schools, at least in my area, do not have compost bins. If someone wants to compost, they either need to sign up for a service (generally impossible outside of big cities) or join a community garden for a few, but I don’t know of any pickup compost outside of major cities. Some people don’t have the time to drive their food waste somewhere to dispose of it properly. (I do compost but I know most people in my area do not).
Fun Fact: In Germany we already have a bin (+ collection system and separate copmosting ground) for food waste... I was confused untik they mentioned that this apparently isn't the standard in the US....
Lol in germany there are four bins provided by local community for trash, Paper, Plastic, BIO or in englsih term compost and one for remaining household waste. It´s a standart here to seperate our waste.
Don’t have to worry about my trash I eat everything in sight
As a German it blows my mind that composting is so challenging for you. We take waste and recycling very seriously, and everything is separated. Of course not everyone follows the rules but it's definitely ingrained in us by now.
Luisa same, and americans dare to think they are better that europeans
Wtf America?!?! I mean I compost food waste for like my entire life and today I found out that for you it’s a “new weird and strange” thing and what about leftovers?? You THROW it away!! Why? Can’t you just eat it for dinner of for the next day, it’s not going to go bad if you put it in the fridge.
shin ae tae Yeah it’s for sure not all Americans, the poor definitely know not to throw out food. Unfortunately food waste is such a pervasive part of American culture. Food portions are so huge over here, we want big meals freshly made, even if we can’t eat all of it while we get accustomed to more and more.
I can understand how composting is new and strange for a lot of us just because it just hasn’t been a thing here. I wish it was but it’s never on anyone’s minds. Since few do it, no one sees it so no one thinks about it. Some people also just straight up don’t care to do it because they don’t want to change their habits. This video is good because it will help people see it and make it less “new weird and strange”.
She showed the mistakes they were making and addressed the attitudes everyone had that made them not realize or not be proactive about composting. This will help others not feel bad for their mistakes when they do try and be motivated to continue in their process of composting.
This is REALLY REALLY REALLY AMAZING! TO Merle, if you are reading this, I wish to tell you that your effort brought upon tears from me. Your determination and strength to help the earth amazes me to the max. Esp when you stayed on the phone with multiple number of companies to help you with the decomposition. I'm sure it wasn't easy to do all this and I appreciate your determination! I'm sure there are many others(like me!) who are inspired by your hard work and would like to follow in your footsteps. I pray that your vision to permanently decompose your extra ingredients from making TASTY videos becomes true. Again, I can't thank you enough for all your hard work in making this a reality. Hopefully one day, more will follow in your footsteps ❤️
I hope the Tasty Kitchen has a Monthly update on the compost situation. It is much more important than people realize.
You can also get a worm farm. They basically eat any fruits and veggie except for citrus since its too acidic. My primary/elementary school has one. I was part of the team that got the worm farm for my school
Finally!!!!! Omg I've always wondered if Tasty producers had any compost bins or just threw the food waste away just like any other kind of trash! Thanks a lot for this video! Another step towards no food waste
I’m so glad buzzfeed does this it makes me compost my food more and others as well
THIS IS GREAT
Crabble Santé if you sub I will sub back
In switzerland, where I live, to compost is a normal thing to do. There is a truck that picks up our compostable trash every tuesday, in fact its the most normal thing ever to throw compost in the green trash can that stands outside of every house or appartment complex. Its crazy to now have learnd that its not usuall to compost on a daily in other countries, this has never occured to me to be quite honest...
Also a great use for your veggie scraps is to make vegetable broth
Thank you so much for being more aware of food waste and for actually putting in the effort to reduce it! Thank you thank you, please keep it up! 😊
It's so crazy to see that you normally don't compost, I'm from Germany and people here are so crazy about recycling and composting freaking everything! When I was growing up we always used our compost (the soil that it became) for our garden. I haven't spend a day of my life without 4 different bins (paper, plastic, compost and the rest) and it's really not much work if you get used to it! Let's help the planet!!!
5:47 In my country, a single avocado is about $3.. I can't believe she would've thrown those away in a normal situation..
Have not seen scott in a while and 4:50 was a blessing
If you guys live in the Boston/NYC area, there’s this great free app called Food for All that is trying to reduce food waste at restaurants by selling them as meals at a discount instead of throwing it away at the end of the day! They have a bunch of restaurants on the app with great deals!!!
My work (Starbucks) just started composting and it's a lot of waste we didn't realize before. We empty the compost to a larger one about 2x a day. Takes some time to create the habit but it's an interesting change
Here in Germany like everyone is doing this since kids age. everywhere are 3 different bins for different waste. and glass is also sorted at big collecting stations
Good on them for learning and changing. Clearly we’re behind some countries on this issue.
You can make broth out of vegetable scraps before composting them (but not the spoiled parts). I freeze them to collect enough scraps for a pot of broth..
I mean like all scraps, stems, onion peels, etc.. it’s surprisingly tasty
thank god you guys are finally doing something. Make sure to introduce this at all the offices! ^-^
my city actually gave each household a compost bin that they pickup once a week.
Over here in Germany this more concious behavior is already part of our life. So why are you starting it now in 2018? Why didn‘t you start before?
American culture is polarized about this kind of stuff. I could see how when they started Tasty they probably didn’t think to compost since it’s not a big thing in American culture. Hell some places don’t even have good recycling services. My mom called the recycling services in our town one time when we were living in a neighborhood that had no recycling bins for anyone.
5:47 - that Gwen lady who considers 'food waste' a bowl full of perfectly good food? like there is like whole onion, three tomatoes and half an avocado? Like, why would you throw that away...
How did you not have a compost bin before this?? I’m so happy you made the change
*Like seriously* ?
?
Wdym man
In England you can buy a food caddie and put them in a separate bin and they get taken away when the council takes out the bins
6:42 omg look at that sign on the fridge! Why tossed ?
To add to that... how about growing a garden if space permitted to reduce the need for bags from grocery stores?
I think I’m about to try this out!
Do it! There are all kinds of guides for compositing at home or even in a small apartment!
I live in Canada and our trash system has three bins one for trash one for compose and one for recycling I’ve been separating my trash in those three categories my whole life lol I thought that it’s international but apparently not
Why is this about only Americans 😂😂
Mariya Marshmallow so that the audience can relate more. In the past, it used to like “oh you’re wasting food and kids in Africa are starving”. Buzzfeed is pretty liberal organization and I’m glad they chose the statistic about America.
Because they're in America and most other developed countries already compost and recycle heavily.
What's really wild is that one of the chef's was so ready to throw away all of that fresh produce because she was done with a recipe. Like several whole tomatoes, half of a purple onion, avocados, all looking perfectly fresh for use. Like I know they are used to working with a high volume of food, but damn!
Saving food for just a week will make no difference, we need to save food every day not occasionally to seek attention.
I'm super proud of them!! I'm going to see if I can get my family into this.. we live in Wisconsin so I'm not sure if our city composts, but it's worth a try!
Merle is an incredible part of the tasty team! Well done girl!!
That is why in England we have a compost bin that is picked up by the government and put into compost
I wish this video also mentioned how much of that food waste is because distributers won't even send produce that "looks weird" to the grocery store, and they trash it before it has a chance to sell or feed anyone.
A way to get composting recycling and other stuff like that is when we are in school to have recycling bins and composting bins but they always tell us to do all this good stuff but they never take action
I’m so glad they did this!
I live in canada and i work in a kitchen and where i live we have giant compost bins and we probably compost 120 pounds a day at minimum i think 1 day we filled 4 bins which was around 400+ pounds of compost we don’t really give any left overs away we just toss it which is sad
Why for a week? I never waste food, I either eat it, share it or give it to the crows on my roof.
Funfact; It's been 1,5 years since I started doing this and the crows have adapted a system. They bring me little things like screws and nails... shiny stuff. And feathers (the larger ones)
And then I'll feed them. The baby-crows are learning the concept too and some recognize me in the street and come up to me, asking for food.
In Australia we’ve been mailed our own compost bins
