When wasted becomes tasted
This is one of the best ideas East Coast Drive has heard in a while.
Gabby Holmes and Natalia Crean, both 23 years old, have opened up a cafe in Liverpool called The Real Junk Food Project.
The two women say they are fed up with food going to waste, so they use leftover food to make healthy, hearty meals.
Food is donated by green grocers, supermarkets and local caterers.
The food has nothing wrong with it, but would have ended up being dumped if it were not for this cafe.
Their menu changes daily, depending on what is available to them, and customers pay whatever they can afford.
Gabby says, "It's absurd that millions of people are starving and millions of food items end up in the bin."
An estimated 1.3 billion tonnes of food ends up on the rubbish heap, annually, while one person every four seconds dies from hunger-related deaths around the world, according to the United Nations.
East Coast Drive salutes Gabby and Natalie!
