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.
