The United States throws away one-third of all the food it produces. Grocery stores are responsible for tossing 10% of that food.
Why is this important?
Charities are desperate for the food that is used as landfill. I was encouraged by the French parliament's vote to ban destruction of unsold food products; the ban requires edible foods be donated to charity, or used as animal feed or farming compost. Let's be wise and stop dumping edible food.
