Teralyn Pilgrim had no idea the environmental and economic impact of food waste, or that she could save $100 a month by living waste-free. But when a story of hungry children filled her with unbearable guilt, she decided to change the way her family approached mealtime. In her new book, No Scrap Left Behind: My Life Without Food Waste, she tells the story of her quest to end her family’s food waste—and all the blunders that came with it. Despite finicky kids and a skeptical husband, Pilgrim turned her feelings of guilt into action and created a zero-food waste kitchen. “Even if I can’t change how much food the world wastes, it feels good to look at this problem and say — with absolute honesty — that I have nothing to do with it,” says Pilgrim. Pilgrim defines food waste with Rule #1: the Hungry Kid Test—would you throw something edible away with a hungry child watching? If the answer is yes, it can go in the compost. If the answer is no, then it’s time to get creative. Teralyn Pilgrim is the author of Don’t Dance on the Toilet: and Other Things I Never Thought I’d Say to my Kids. She lives with her husband and three children in Beavercreek, Oregon. Learn more: https://amzn.to/4gqkgGH
