"Scared foods"?

I've heard of frightening the daylights out of something, but never just the lights...

Or did you mean sacred...

The days when people ate 'everything but the oink' are rapidly dwindling, because we have so much surplus food here in the West.

We throw away about a third of all the food we buy, either because we cooked so much we couldn't finish the plateful, paranoia over 'best by' dates when food is still fresh enough to eat or we just bought too much and it went off. And that's only the end stage in the food production process.

We only eat the best cuts of meat, the vegetables with clean skins, fruit with no blemishes... what happens to all the apples and kidneys that didn't make the grade? Some get processed into other foods - pre-packaged pies and such like. Some get processed into animal feed and some just gets left to rot. Even as short a time ago as 40 years, people ate considerably more of an animal than they do now.

Society has become so wasteful, so 'throwaway' that we've got to relearn how to eat sensibly, and that doesn't mean starving ourselves skeletal for fashion reasons. We throw away so much good food and don't eat so many things that we have to take vitamin supplements, protein bars, indigestion and diaorrhea medicines, pills to build muscles, drinks to increase energy.... the list is endless, and pointless.
