Food Waste Frenzy?

Many people, in the UK, are dependent on food banks in order just to eat/ feed their families. It's, consequently, rather sad that the British reportedly also throw away £1.2bn worth of food every year (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/20/uk-food-waste-dont-know-what-to-cook). Censuswide obtained 2000 responses from a survey aimed at UK consumers. 50% of respondents actually felt guilty about their food waste. Weirdly, however, 20% said they could reduce food waste, if they knew more recipes. This is bizzare, because recipes have never been more available. They can easily be found in books, on TV/radio and online. Could it be that recipe-deficient folk are just too lazy to check out the options?
