Except that we're all throwing away the bones, and only some of us are throwing away actual edible bits. Do they count 1.5 kilos of chicken bones as someone having thrown away a medium to large chicken? What else are we supposed to do with them?

And are they still counted as thrown out if they're composted? What if they're composted by the council (as in Cambridge) rather than by the person who would have otherwise eaten the chicken.

There's just not enough info.

Edit: Ah, I see Gareth has actually read the report and answered much of this.

Today I threw away 1/4 of a pork pie.
