Worldwide, 30% of food is lost or wasted - that’s 1.6 BILLION tonnes of food every year! It is vital that people are aware of the impacts of food waste and what they can do to make a difference.

Im a software engineer, and this video pushed me to make a food waste app. I haven’t thrown almost any food away since I started using it! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@user-lj9wr3ff9q]

Where are you based and what is the app? I work in food waste management looking to start an app based business and would love to look at your take on this. If you are interested let me know we could have a chat

I just read a book on Restorative Agriculture, and instead of saving the crops from disease and having industrial row agriculture (as above), new recommendations to back to the forest landscape and new crops (e.g., chestnuts, hazelnuts, apples, peppers). "That's the universities to the farmers too!" instead of fighting against nature with fertilizers and insect control at Cornell University and hybrid corns.

I seriously dont understand why some food businesses have to serve such huge ass portions, or include some foods that are never even eaten by customers. Like sushi restaurants, why do you have to provide wasabi and ginger in every single dish served? A good amount of customers, especially in the West, never eat those. I don’t understand why japanese restaurants cannot just write on the menus: _“Wasabi and ginger served upon request”_ .Also sauce in general. Literally no one is gonna finish the tub of sauce provided in burgers, fries, fish and chips, wraps, etc. Just start serving less sauce already. And theres also the issue of extra napkins and utensils, which restaurants often over provide, then it just gets thrown away because most customers never even need that many for the meal. Even if you “store it away for future use”, face it, most people just chuck it in the drawer, forget about it, then throw it away after rediscovering it like weeks or months or years later, sitting there collecting dust. Because even though we _say_ “imma keep it just in case we need it later”, the truth is. we never _do_ “need it later”.

"The economy doesn't need 5 different types of dino chicken nuggets. I think consumers would be more than happy to sacrifice "choice" for access to healthier options. If manufacturers operated according to their said values, there is a lot of room to cut production, maintain sustainable profits, and keep prices affordable. But that's kind of pie in the sky. Employ factory workers to public works projects yadda yadda " - FDR

[@Yorky222]

A surprising amount of uneaten food is thrown away in restaurants. It would be better if restaurants served smaller portions and undertake to add a second helping if required.

[@Mari3l]

I feel so bad throwing away food....I try to eat EVERYTHING I buy, if something is expired but looks and smells OK I will eat it, still sometimes things go bad or you buy fruits and they are not good and I hate that

[@ClimateScience]

That's a good habit to have! Make sure to be cautious with foods beyond expiration date that more go bad more easily (e.g. meat and dairy products).

[@ariannawilliams6040]

This is ridiculous. The biggest problem regarding food waste isnt food spoilage in low income countries or crop being destroyed. Its grocery stores, restaurants and similar institutions who throw out stuff at the end of the day because no one bought it and don't donate or gove it assy because they fear law suits. Additionally, the big problem with this is that food is being thrown out in plastic bags and then going to landfill and breaking down improperly and producing methane which is a more potent green house gas contributing to climate change. This is a BIG problem. I don't think the video relayed how big of an issue this is.

I'm not sure how us reducing food waste helps other countries with their food insecurities. It reminds me of the age old parenting saying that we should eat all our food because of the starving children in Africa. 🤔

[@jamesrocket5616]

It's simple economics, lower demand (with better food management) would also lower the total food supply needed to be delivered in grocery shelves and markets.

[@linadyck3894]

@@jamesrocket5616 maybe I'm daft, but how does that mean more food in Africa?

[@jacqueslee2592]

Westerners learn to feel less guilty that children in Africa need to starve so that Western children can eat. In other words, Western foreign and trade policy is genocidal towards Africans. In other words, Westerners love to gloat on the suffering that they bring to others and white wash it with such adages that they teach their children who some grew up to be Western politicians who perpetuate genocide.

@@linadyck3894 There isn't more food, because Americans are exterminating them through starvation.

[@marioxerxescastelancastro8019]

Donating unused food to those who are unable to afford them, you say. Why would I do that?

[@stephaniemeacham2560]

Because almost all discarded food is edible and mainly thrown away due to its appearance.

[@davidcanatella4279]

Industrial food systems are inseparable from waste and waste is one of the most important parts of capitalism. Another important part of capitalism is hungry slaves. Of course corporations who make more money when things are wasted and who buy government policy that supports waste and inhibits alternatives , will try to make the average ethical person feel that they are responsible for waste to divert attention from corporate crimes. This video is worse than useless since it’s a repackaged industrial commercial for more crap.
