Celebrity chefs including Paul Rankin, James Martin, Cyrus Todiwala and Jimmy Doherty are lending their support to WRAP’s “Love Food Hate Waste” campaign to provide consumers with information on simple steps that can be taken to reduce food waste, and its impact on the environment. The campaign recently released a new research survey which shows 90 percent of consumers are unaware of how much food they waste. In the UK alone, 6.7 million tons of wasted food is shipped off to landfills. That’s almost $16 billion dollars wasted on food that is never eaten each year.
