Two women who are fed up with wasted food decided to set up a 'junk food café,' called The Real Junk Food Project which they opened in Liverfood.
Gabby Holmes and Natalie Crean both 23 years old,were inspired by Adam Smith, the man behind of UK's first café of this kind. He opened the business concept in Leeds.
Food donations come from green grocers, allotments, local caterers and small supermarkets. Both women cook on a 'Ready Steady Cook' creative style, they cook the food base of what produce they've been given.
People can choose on the menu from homemade hearty and healthy stews, soups, bacon butties and puddings. Customers can pay any amount they can afford or any creative donations instead of cash.
Gabby said it is shameful that many food are thrown in the bin, when food banks are crying out for food donations.
She said, "I realised how much food rich economies waste after travelling round Asia and seeing how resourceful they were."
"It's absurd that millions of people are starving and millions of food items ends up in the bin."
Statistic shows an estimated of 1.3 billion tonnes of food were wasted, annually, while one person dies in every four seconds from hunger related deaths around the world, according to United Nations via Mirror.
"The statistics are shocking, Gabby said. Ultimately, I want to see the cafe force itself out of business - because that will mean food isn't being wasted anymore."
"But, so long as there's waste, we're trying to achieve some good out of the daily waste."
"The cafe is more of a community hub; a social place where people can come and chat."
Both women have full time jobs, so the social concept cafe, located on the corner of Everton Brow is open every weekend, Saturday from 10am- 5pm and Sunday 11am- 4pm.
