Food Waste

I'm tired of writing about GMO's. Although, if you're interested, California did not vote to label them.

Let's turn to what is possibly the most infuriating topic in the whole world: Food Waste.

Our source today is a TED talk:

Tristram Stuart: The global food waste scandal

This is a video well-worth watching yourself, but I'll just give you the basics.In America, we throw away a tremendous amount of food. And not just rotten food, no, most of the food we throw away is fit for consumption. We throw away food because it is too small for supermarket regulation, or because of "cosmetic blemishes." All told, there is twice as much food in our grocery stores as is necessary to feed our population. Though some food waste is inevitable, the amount we throw away is staggering, particularly in a world where millions are starving.

Perhaps next time I'll discuss my own adventures in "Freeganism."
