US wastes “27% of food available for consumption”!
Wow, this is probably the “worst” statistic for US today. If that 27% of food available for consumption went to the homeless, we’d have a more eco-friendly world. We need to “re-cycle” the food too.
You’d never know it if you saw what was ending up in your landfill. As it turns out, Americans waste an astounding amount of food — an estimated 27 percent of the food available for consumption, according to a government study — and it happens at the supermarket, in restaurants and cafeterias and in your very own kitchen. It works out to about a pound of food every day for every American.
