Food Waste: The Hidden Cost of the Food We Throw Out I ClimateScience #9

[@zmffhqj]

"I knew that a lot of food is wasted, and that efforts are being made to reduce it. But I was shocked to learn that the amount of food wasted every year is enormous, and if we reduce that, many people who are suffering from food shortages due to harsh environments could be helped. Even at our school, a large amount of food is wasted every day. I want to raise awareness about the problems caused by food waste through this video. Not only is the content informative, but the animation is so cute that it makes watching it fun. In the future, I will try to reduce overconsumption and let go of greed to reduce food waste. The Earth character is soooooooo cute!!!

[@RongDeng-n6c]

This video really demonstrates how serious the problem of food waste is and how it influences the lives of people. It's so bad how food waste damages the earth's ecosystem. The actions that everybody could take at the end of the video are very helpful. Hope more people could see them.

[@JenniferTheGardevoir78]

This is truly a message we really need, especially that people are wasting food for views and subscribers.

[@dbuc4671]

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”.

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.

Buy enough for yourself. Some people spend a lot of food and throw away half of it.

[@sahithirachapudi8831]

it is great that someone addressing the issue more relevantly. it will be great if you made a video on cloth recycling. its may be a great content to us.

[@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.

[@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.

[@catmatism]

Meat eaters will deny that beef and pork require large amount of deforestation for growing crops to feed poultry.

"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

[@linadyck3894]

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.

[@jacqueslee2592]

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

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

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.
