The SMH has an article about "Wasteful Consumers". Shame about the statistical sample being 1644 people out of the population of 20 Million! That is 0.00822% of the population.
Deep down the authors of the report and this article want the reader to feel guilty for having individual tastes and wants...
"The value of wasted food and drink represented more than 13 times what Australian households gave to overseas aid agencies in 2003."
The cart the report is pushing is that individuals can not be trusted to spend their money wisely. That is their spending habits are wasteful.
Who should spend their money instead? blankout
I suggest the author of the report and the article should read some Hayek.
Have Fun
p.s. I have promised to write some database articles (and I will). However there has been too many easy pickings in the economic orchard at the moment.
