About a third of all food produced in the world is wasted. To reduce this unfortunate number, several companies are trying to do their part. The article analyzes the causes of food waste in the B_M company restaurant, located in the Industrial Pole of Manaus, to propose actions to improve its environmental performance. The research is of an applied nature, with data collection and analysis using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The procedures involve case study, documentary and bibliographic research, and survey application, based on a questionnaire composed of 2 sections and nine questions, applied randomly at lunchtime with 300 employees. After analyzing the data, it was concluded that waste is related to the preparation and menu of meals, occurring effectively in the consumption phase, when 58% of respondents leave food scraps on the plate, due to the bad taste of the meals (81 %), not pleasant menu (41%) and for over-serving (25%). The main foods left on the plate are beef (34%), chicken meat (32%), rice (23%), beans (20%), and fish (20%). In the end, six suggestions were given to managers to reduce food waste at the restaurant.

This paper demonstrates how a range of linguistic methods can be harnessed in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the ‘lived experience’ of psychological disorders. It argues that such methods should be applied more in medical contexts, especially in medical humanities. Key extracts from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath are examined, as a case study of the experience of depression. Combinations of qualitative and quantitative linguistic methods, and inter- and intra-textual comparisons are used to consider distinctive patterns in the use of metaphor, personal pronouns and (the semantics of) verbs, as well as other relevant aspects of language. Qualitative techniques provide in-depth insights, while quantitative corpus methods make the analyses more robust and ensure the breadth necessary to gain insights into the individual experience. Depression emerges as a highly complex and sometimes potentially contradictory experience for Plath, involving both a sense of apathy and inner turmoil. It involves a sense of a split self, trapped in a state that one cannot overcome, and intense self-focus, a turning in on oneself and a view of the world that is both more negative and more polarized than the norm. It is argued that a linguistic approach is useful beyond this specific case.
