But when a story of hungry children filled her with unbearable guilt, she decided to change the way her family approached mealtime. In her new book, No Scrap Left Behind: My Life Without Food Waste, she tells the story of her quest to end her family\u2019s food waste\u2014and all the blunders that came with it. Despite finicky kids and a skeptical husband, Pilgrim turned her feelings of guilt into action and created a zero-food waste kitchen. \u201cEven if I can\u2019t change how much food the world wastes, it feels good to look at this problem and say \u2014 with absolute honesty \u2014 that I have nothing to do with it,\u201d says Pilgrim. Pilgrim defines food waste with Rule #1: the Hungry Kid Test\u2014would you throw something edible away with a hungry child watching? If the answer is yes, it can go in the compost. If the answer is no, then it\u2019s time to get creative.\n\nTeralyn Pilgrim is the author of Don\u2019t Dance on the Toilet: and Other Things I Never Thought I\u2019d Say to my Kids.
