don’t be so trashy

Here is an interesting article about food waste.

The food crisis is not one of lack of food but over production of food that cannot get to people who need it, therefore becoming waste. The point of the article is to also bring to light the volume of water that is used to make the food, therefore it is wasted, as well.

I think the thing that stands out to me about this, and similar articles, is that we need to look at the whole life span of what we buy, whether it is food or other goods. To produce beef it costs 2500 gallons of water per pound. When you throw that away, you have contributed to the waste of not only that item, but everything it took to make that item.
