It seems that Bloom is a major source when it comes to food waste because this is the second article that quotes him. This article gives statistics and information everyone should be aware of. They also give this great example of how America has a great obesity problem and that they say to chuck away the last few slices of that pizza instead of eating them!! Wrong! maybe we should just not buy the pizza if we do not need to eat it! The examples just show how we don't really think twice before throwing food away.

Homelessness is a major social issue. Housing is a basic right. Before the inalienable rights were changed to "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" is was "life liberty and property" meaning housing is a human right.

This article explains that restaurants find food waste a low priority. This happens because as a restraunt you always have to be prepared if its slow or busy. If its busy then great you wont have any food to be thrown out but if its slow you have to throw away that days production.

Americans push technology and sometimes their wallets to the limit to pursue energy frugality. But if you examine your plate, you could easily save fuel. The power that it takes to grow food, move it all over the country, process it, sell it, store it and then eventually scrape it into the trash is a major problem in the U.S.
