This being based on their every day routines, and interactions with food; one being that they waste approximately 4.6 pounds of trash a day. Environmentally speaking this is not headed in a good direction for America.

    In this article it's saying that 20 pounds of food is wasted each month for each of the 311 million americans. That amounts to $1,350 to $2,275 a month.  That's what most people make in a month. Also throwing away cereal that isn't all the way gone, just to clear or make room in your pantry.

    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.

    This article is from 2004. It states that durig an "extensive" 8 year study they found that $75 billion of food waste is being tossed out each year. It also states that if Americans knew how to use food more "wisely", and buy more "wisely" they wouldn't waste so much of it. They suggest freezing leftovers to save them and eat them later.

    They compare the amount of food waste that is thrown out each year as the "equivalent" of throwing away 350 billion barrels of oil away. It says Americans could save about 2% of its total energy consumption in a year if we would be more careful about food waste.

    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.

    Not only does wasting food hurt our wallets but now we find out that it waste our energy too. The Texas University estimates that if America would stop wasting food altogether(by some sort of magic) that they would save 2 percent of its annual energy!!!

    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.

    These graphs show basic images to help give a descriptive idea of how much food waste is happening in America. They talk about the disposal of the food and how it becomes a danger to our world by the methane gases it produces. Recycling, of course, is always a benefit for our environment; however, we need to inform more people about this.

    By generating food waste has significant economic as well as environmental consequences. Parts of your budget goes to buying food, but yet we waste it with out even thinking anything of it. If i was to give someone 20 dollars and then say throw it away they would look at me like i'm crazy. But this is what we are doing!
