Is it a good idea to store Rotten Food in the Freezer?

Heh. I thought I was the only one who ever did this. It simply occurred to me to do this one day to avoid the stinky-trash-can-for-a-week dilemma. My girlfriend thought I was a genius to have though of it as a solution. I don't pile the leftovers on top of the good food; I simply seal away the leftovers in two or three plastic shopping bags and tuck it into an empty corner by itself. The good food is likewise sealed away in its own packaging so there's never any crossover.
I don't see why anyone would consider this unsanitary; there's essentially no difference between scraps and the fresh food except for the hour or two it spent out of the freezer to be cooked and eaten. If you've ever refrozen leftovers and then decided to throw them out rather than eat them then you've pretty much done the same thing.

Do you have a reliable disposal hooked into your sink?
It goes away before it has time to rot and stink, and lemons or seeped tea leaves (or coffee grounds) will neutralize any odors.
People pick up weird habits (and ways of thinking) from their family and treat it like gospel, so I understand you needing a scientific study in order to break the habit.
If it bugs you, I'd take another poster's advice and just take out the bad food to the trash. That way you aren't trying to change her behavior; you're simply changing yours to make your food space more friendly.
