Waste Not, Want not? Right? Why is 1.4 Billion tons of food thrown out and ending up in the Landfill’s. P.S. What is a Reducetarian? EP39

Summary

Its a hard thing to discuss with so much food insecurity. 1.4 Billion tons of food are wasted annually. Americans waste 40 million tons making us the biggest losers.  And it is the biggest single item in our landfill. Why do we waste so much food when there is so much food insecurity? Real or Perceived food spoilage means 80% of Americans throw away perfectly good food.  And why? Because of confusion over Sell By,  Use By, Best By Labeling standards. What is a Reducetarian? An all inclusive, affirmative description of people who want to reduce their consumption of Animal Products. Not Vegan, Not vegetarian but someone who strives to consume less animal products as Methane Gas contributes significantly to the deterioration of the Ozone Layer.
