I wonder if the study counted stuff most people would naturally dispose of such as potato or carrot peels. Technically they’re edible and no one living in starvation would consider tossing them, but I don’t eat a lot of peels, the ends of celery or such.
My dog as well.
As for peels and cores, I toss them under my raspberry bush if they're not consumable. They break down eventually and because of the thorns, the raccoons and rats leave the piles well alone. Does amazing things to my fertilizer budget. My green bin gets some traffic, mostly spoilt meat, tough to break down vegetables bits or mixed stuff, but I have a neighbour who's green bin goes out full and reeking of spoiled food. No idea how they do it. Family of four adults (two elderly) and two elementary school kids...maybe 8-10 years old...
