  I was asked not to nominate 300 articles for PROD in a day again. Which has literally nothing to do with this AFD or any of the other AFDs I've made this week. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

     The book notes: "Food Network's "The Big Waste" (first broadcast in 2012) addressed the need for greater awareness by exposing the types of food that are typically thrown away and helping us to reshape what we consider waste and how we might repurpose excess. The documentary follows Food Network chefs and their experiences "in the field" from sourcing food to eating food. Emphasis was put on the star chefs' personal learning experiences through this journey, indicating that waste is a widespread problem but the intricacies of our food waste system are a well-kept secret. The show also focused heavily on the surprise the chefs experience when noting the quality of many of the ingredients that are about to be or have been thrown away (deemed unfit for use) and explained that the issue in food waste lies not only in our excess purchasing of food, but in our perception of what is acceptable or unacceptable to eat. Still, in this show and across the media studied, the lack of attention to the consequences of allowing current levels of production, distribution, and consumption in developed countries to continue, as well as lack of awareness about the benefits to our environment and society of broadening our diet to include unused food, are remarkable."

     The article notes: "In 2012, The Food Network tried to tackle this issue.  Top Chefs teamed up and created the special show called “The Big Waste”.  In this TV special, the chefs were divided up in to two culinary teams and had exactly 48 hours to create a multi course gourmet meal that was A) worthy of their reputations and B) could only use food that was on it’s way to the garbage. ... These chefs had to visit food processors and wholesalers that willingly gave them their wasted food. This included overstock, returned, blemished, damaged and other unwanted produce.  This series was not only a cook off but also a learning experience."

     The article notes: "In the Food Network's January 15 segment "The Big Waste," first-class chefs Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Anne Burrell and Alex Guarnaschelli tackled the problem of waste in the food industry. Divided into two teams, with only 48 hours on the clock, the chefs were challenged to create a multicourse gourmet banquet worthy of their great reputations, but with a big twist - they could only use food that is on its way to the trash."
