Give me your leftovers, your scraps, your ugly vegetables. Toronto's newest food festi val, Trashed & Wasted, plans to Serve up food and drinks made out of the edible stuff that would otherwise be des- tined for the trash pile, The point is to shine a light on the huge amount of edible food that gets tossed out in the city every year, according to event coordinator Brock Sheph He points to stuff that rots in the back of fridges, “ex: pired” products trashed by grocery stores and food that goes uneaten in restaurants as examples. According to the Toronto Food Policy Council, about 40 per cent of the food pro- duced in Canada is wasted. That works out to about $28 of groceries per household per week getting tossed. For the March 1 event, local chefs and drink makers will turn stale bread into beer and bruised vegetables into gour- met dishes, One distiller is even experi- menting with making a spirit out of leftover whey. Brock Shepherd is the organizer of Toronto's newest food festival, Trashed and Wasted, an ‘event that plans to serve up food and drinks made out of edible scraps. DuArDoLIMAIMETRO “We're having lots of fun with it," Shepherd said. “We don't expect you to distil your ‘own milk vodka, but you can cut down your waste at home. Shepherd has a restaurant background, and said he got tired of seeing slightly bruised vegetables and fruit scraps end up in the trash. “I think it's about aware- ness. We have it easy, but it's only been the last 50 years, if you think about it. Our grand- parents lived off the land a lot more.” POLICE Man threatened while recording video of arrest ‘A Toronto man lawfully recording police arrest and Taser a man near Ryerson University on Tuesday ‘was repeatedly told by officers to stop videotaping the interaction, then threatened by two cops who Claimed they would seize the phone he was using to record.
