Gino's war on waste
The Herald

TV CHEF GINO D'ACAMPO IS ON A MISSION TO STOP HOME COOKS FROM WASTING FOOD, AS PRUDENCE WADE FOUND OUT
-
AFTER over 30 years in the UK, there's something Gino D'Acampo can't get used to- the food waste.
"We are used to going to the supermarket and going to places to buy our food - to touch it, to smell it," the TV chef says of his hometown in Naples, Italy.
"In the last 30 years that I've been here, I've always been thinking: why do these people buy everything in a plastic bag? Why do they buy so much stuff they don't need?" For Gino - who is a regular face on This Morning and fronts Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip alongside Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix it's "crazy" to buy your fruit and vegetables wrapped up in plastic.
"It's crazy to think that anyone would go and buy a bag of peppers, without touching them, without smelling them and without even thinking what they're going to do with these backup peppers.
"The majority of people need one or two peppers, but they go into the supermarket, they go into the corner shop and they pick up a bag where there are seven, eight peppers. They use three and then they throw away six.
"I'm thinking, do you really know what you're doing here? Do you know how much money you're wasting?" Gino, 47, isn't one to hide his feelings and his outrage about food waste is clear which is why he teamed up with Love Food Hate Waste for this year's Food Waste Action Week, encouraging people to buy loose fruit and veg.
