40 percent of the food being thrown away in the US equals up to 165 billion dollars. That's a lot of money, if we saved a little more maybe we could help get our selves out of a recession.

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.
