American Waste.....


North America hoards and wastes the world's food supply, creating an unnecessary surplus every day. 40% of food that is raised and grown in America is not eaten. Globally, one third of food produced is not consumed. In individual households, Americans waste 20% of their food. That's the equivalent of dumping every fourth bag of groceries we buy! Billions of bananas are wasted each year in the name of supermarket's cosmetic standards. Millions of peaches are discarded – around 60% – because the capitalist market rejects it.  Much of the food we keep in our fridges, tomatoes, eggs, etc., ought never to be cooled or cleaned.
