If you buy clothes and don't wear them, you cna tell yourself that someday you will actually wear them, or you will give them to someone who is going to wear them. But rotten food, that is going in the trash, no one will ever use it (unless you can compost it to get the nutrients back in the soil somewhere...).

I've read about Niman Ranches before, but I didn't know Ms. Hahn Niman's story about being a lawyer and such. I'm pretty picky about the foods I buy in the first place, and it has definitely helped to decrease the amount I end up trashing. I used to have cupboards full of junk but began to mend my ways about a year and a half ago. I could probably shop even more carefully, though. That’s a great article, thanks for linking it.
