the fifth annual survey polled almost 1100 americans and found out that consumers also felt guilty about leaving the lights on when leaving a room and wasting water. But no one really thinks about wasting rations or food. Food costs more than electric does each month and no one really pays attention to it.

An estimated forty-five to fifty percent of food is discarded each year by Americans.That makes it an economic problem for everyone. In a country known as the "throw away" society we are destroying the planet with methane, mountains of food waste that could of been eaten, and wasting money that could of been saved.

Nearly 50% of all food ready for harvest gets thrown away, according to a study done by the University of Arizona! Sometimes the crops can't be saved due to mother nature, but in most cases food waste happens because we have been trained to only look at the perfect looking food.

Food waste is the largest component of discarded waste. The Arizona Garbage project estimates that the average person throws out 1.3 pound of food a day roughly 475 pounds a year. Over 60 million homes and 500,000 businesses have disposals to get rid of food waste so it wouldn't end up in the landfill, why don't they use them?

One of the issues we waste food is because the wealthier we get, the more we unconsiously spend money at restaurants and at home and then waste food. The issue of wasted food is not on the radar of Americans.
