Anti-food waste: The Real Junk Food Project

So around the corner from  the patch of space where I reside, a new cafe has opened up: a Pay As You Feel Real: Junk Food Project cafe, and I gotta say, if we all switched to a good binge on this kind of junk food, we would all be a lot better off.
The premise of the cafe is quite challenging, but essentially takes wonky fruit and vegetables supermarkets and the like would ordinarily bin, and use it to create super health meals. I know what you're thinking. Wonky vegetables? Disgusting. Curse those auxins and the lack of Abscisic acid. If my carrots aren't as straight as the posture of a Prince with a broomstick up his arse, I will have none of it.

Around one third of the food we produce globally is wasted for a variety of reasons, often needlessly. At the same time, around 795 million people don't have enough food to eat healthily. So these guys work on a grassroots level and intercept food wastage from local stores, food that is needlessly wasted. Like wonky cabbage. Wonky carrots however, awful.
