It is truly outrageous how much food is presented on every cooking show!    It is enought to feed a small country, and now I read that MOST OF IT IS THROWN OUT?????? SHAME ON YOU QVC!!!!

@POOHBEAR59   This poor horse is getting beat again!

You know what else is truly outrageous? Your abuse/waste of question marks; you only need one. Do you know how many poor students could use those question marks... but no, you waste them.

Shame on You!

😂 😹 😂  ........ I highly doubt that any of the food products on QVC end up in any trash cans.

You've seen the appetites on those show hosts ..... Bigger than the State of Texas. You'd have to pry it from straight their grubby little paws.

Not to mention all of the people drooling behind the scenes. If anything, they'd have to make more.

🍷 And we won't even get into the wine consumption.

There's likely not as much wasted food as you think.  

Each food company has an advertising budget, which covers the amount of food shown in the QVC on air presentations.  You have to spend money to make money.  The price we pay for the food covers the product used for advertising purposes.

The independent representative who presents the food for that company receives the amount of food needed for the number of shows they are scheduled for; they have been instructed on exactly how much product to have displayed.

@ManyMeows   Well said !

I can understand, I guess, @POOHBEAR59 a person that does not look into other places where food is destroyed and how this may bother you. However, the shame is not on QVC.

Have you ever wondered what all the restaurants do with their leftover food? Especially those buffets? The grocery stores? They fill bins of trash with items. And what about all those cooking TV shows where contestants prepare items that may only have 3 small bites taken then it's tossed? 

In all honesty, even if QVC never used any food in their "food" presentations, it will not change the world's hunger problems. And like @ManyMeows said, I believe a large portion of the food items are consumed by employees. There's a huge production staff behind the scenes. 

I know this is said often but when watching QVC/HSN and something bothers me, it's usually a host, I just don't watch.

🌮 🌭 🍕 🍟 🍝 ....... Where I live, the restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, delis, pizza shops, and the like donate left over food and produce items to local men's and women's shelters, soup kitchens, group homes, homeless shelters, and any place that the items will be consumed. There's never a problem deciding what to do with leftovers here.

@POOHBEAR59 Oh please.  You can't recycle food that sits around and is oiled and sprayed to look pretty and handled by a bunch of folks.

You can't sell food without demonstrating it.  Also, please tell us, do you ever discard leftovers?  Let something go bad in the fridge?  If not, it is truly amazing.  If so, what's the difference?

Exactly how is someone supposed to present food without showing it cooked?  And how do you know this to be a fact?  I've read that the stage crew eats it..
