Title: As supermarket prices spiral Brown tells families: 'Stop wasting food'
Post by: TheSarge on July 06, 2008, 09:02:00 PM

Gordon Brown called for prudence in the kitchen last night, telling us not to throw away so much food.

With prices soaring, he suggested we could save up to £8 a week by making our shopping go further.

Waste could be reduced by simple steps such as storing fruit and vegetables in the fridge to make them last longer.

While the Prime Minister was preoccupied with his household management tips, a joint report by the U.S. government and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development was warning world food prices will rise by an average of 5 per cent this year  -  and keep climbing for another decade.

Mr Brown, meanwhile, wants us to rediscover the thriftiness that was once a watchword for British housewives.

Give up.

Gordan Brown is a wanker.
