It caused a big conversation at home around the kitchen table when Gordon Brown urged us all not to waste food, earlier this month. The fingers waved in the air and then to a wife and 3 children pointed at me as the top food waster of the family - because I religiously throw anything away that is even minutes past its sell-by date.
Big red face for me then when the report that Brown was launching lands on my desk – 124 pages of brick, thickanalysis on the future of food and listed in the expert advisers on their panel… one Ed Mayo.
