a potluck gathering and bicycle-powered compost mixer
Join Wowhaus and Southern Exposure for a community compost mixer. Participants are invited to bring a dish featuring in season, local (preferably organic and home grown) produce. Please bring a dish that generates some vegetable scraps to contribute to the mixer and pick up tips for making your own compost mixer and compost.
Continuing on after the event, gallery visitors are encouraged to bring in vegetable scraps and to power the spinner by riding the bicycle. A clear door on the bin aids in viewing the decomposition process which when complete, will be used to enrich the soil of Southern Exposure’s and community members’ gardens. The Wowhaus Mixer helps overcome many obstacles to urban composting, offering a compact, efficient, and fun means of reducing waste and enriching garden soil.

I dunno about other cooks, but I don't serve stuff that can't be eaten, save perhaps the cob in the corn. When I make a vegetable dish, the edible parts get served, not picked for leftovers. The compostables (peels, rinds, seeds) are trimmed away before. It's the animal foods that leave bones over. -

Mostly I agree with you. But there are a few exceptions. You mentioned corn on the cob, but what about artichokes!!
