How many pounds of food do you think you waste in one year?

Answer 1

Zero.........if it's there I eat and eat and eat some more......you get the picture. Especially when I'm kicked back and relaxing while watching TV or reading. Whatever I DON'T eat, the canine garbage disposals take care of the rest.

Answer 2

Official surveys indicate that every year more than 350 billion pounds (160 billion kg) of edible food is available for human consumption in the United States. Of that total, nearly 100 billion pounds (45 billion kg) -- including fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, and grain products -- are lost to waste by retailers, restaurants, and consumers.

By contrast, the amount of food required to meet the needs of the hungry is only four billion pounds, according to Food Not Bombs, an advocacy group, which estimates that every year more than 30 million people in the United States are going hungry on regular basis.

''The American government has billions of dollars in surplus money, which could go towards poverty elimination nationally or globally,'' Samana Siddiqui of the Sound Vision Foundation, a Chicago-based non-profit group, told Tierramérica.

Answer 3

Bill, you struck another nerve. I'm ashamed
at the food that we sometimes waste. Surely
we are not the only ones. Look around you
sometimes in a restuarante and you will see
food that is wasted and we all do it at home.
The nerve you struck is,many times I think
of all the starving children who would cherish
one little bite of what we throw away.
[notice the "e" on restuarant is just for you".
