Sound Bites A Nutrition Podcast

Reducing food waste at home has multiple benefits: you’ll stretch your food budget to save money, time, and potentially even boost your nutrition, all while supporting a healthy planet. A flexitarian eating style can help reduce food waste because you have more flexibility to eat and enjoy all types of foods and to use up leftover foods in a variety of creative ways.
