Description
The US wastes roughly 40% of the food it produces, much of it perfectly edible and nutritious. Food is lost or wasted for a variety of reasons, from the farm, to the store, to the restaurant, to our very own home kitchens, where each household is throwing away around 21% of the food it buys. In this episode we explain why food waste is a problem, touch on how some grocery stores, restaurants and food companies are working to fix the problem, and dig into some of the cultural reasons why our society treats food as disposable. Finally, we hit on how you can make changes in how you shop, cook and eat that will make a meaningful difference environmentally and economically.Follow @foodprintorg on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter .
