Food Waste in the Faroe Islands: The Grind Myth

Faroe Islands Crew Diaries: Today we focus on another myth about the Grind: whale meat is a source of food for the poor or needy and it's better than importing food. Slaughtered whale meat is divided and shared amongst the community, but so little is used or eaten; the number of whales killed is more than the people eating it. Whale meat is also toxic and is not consumed by many Faroese. Our research, over many years, shows that food imports do not decrease with the Grind, they remain the same. With over 50 grocery stores (1 for every 1k people), waste is abundant, like any wealthy nation. Having a variety of food year around means waste. On the crew’s off time, they rehouse delicious food waste! They eat it themselves and offer free food to anyone in the Faroe Islands, even delivering it to those who ask. Never Stop.
