0:00.0	Anytime I talk about food waste, people make the assumption that it's the grocery stores and the restaurants that are wasting food.
0:06.9	Restaurants typically are very good about food waste because they can't afford to be wasting food.
0:12.7	The largest percentage, I think it's around 30 to 40 percent, is in consumer homes.
0:17.9	And when you really do think about it, it's so easy to waste food.
0:23.9	Hi, financial feminist. Welcome back to the show. I'm so excited to see you. If you're an oldie
0:28.0	goody, welcome back. If you're new here, hi, my name is Tori. I fight the patriarchy by making
0:32.1	you rich. I teach you how to be better with money while also talking about the ways money affects
0:37.2	women differently.
0:38.4	Many of our time is a selling author. We have four million social media followers. If you're not

1:33.0	coming to you from the past. But as you're listening to this, it just happened. And hopefully
1:38.0	it was lovely and great. And hopefully Seattle, we had good fucking weather. This is what happens
1:42.0	to is we fly everybody out here and I want my city to
1:45.1	show off and be on its best behavior and it often is not. We literally, if you live in Seattle,
