Do you clean your plate? Should you keep a chicken that's been in your freezer for 10 years? We visit farms, a meat processing plant, a compost heap, grocery stores and Kansas Citians' kitchens to explore the issue of food waste.

Guests:

Kris Husted, reporter, Harvest Public Media
Jena Roberts, vice president of business development, The National Food Lab
Karin Page, gleaning program director, After the Harvest KC
Peggy Lowe, reporter, Harvest Public Media
Cassandra Profita, reporter, Harvest Public Media

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
