  • Every year in the USA we produce enough food to feed nearly 2 entire American populations yet 50 million Americans go hungry, many of them children and elders. Grocery stores throw away enough food to feed every American in need. Together we CAN stop the waste and feed our fellow Americans. Ask grocery stores to #DonateNotDump
    For a deeper look into how to end food waste and hunger watch my TEDx Talk, How to End the Food Waste Fiasco at: robingreenfield.org/foodwastes....

    I work at my co-op, they let us take this kind of food they can't sell home. Our produce section has a program for farmers to pick up the bad produce for their compost or animal feed or whatever. I've cut my food bill down to maybe $25 a week taking home stuff out of the produce bin and past date meat.
    If they can't give it to food banks, they can still give it to employees that are likely living at the poverty level.

    Awesome video! Thank you for doing this. It always ticked me off when people talk about hunger in the United States. What hunger? There is plenty of food here for everyone. It's the misappropriation of food that needs to be discussed. Thank you. Thank you😀

    Rob this is a worthy cause. I worked at a large grocery retailer for years and the food waste was incredible, so much gone for a tiny blemish or a splatter.

    I love these news clips montage videos! So inspiring, and great way to promote others to get involved with the community and reaching out to local groceries to adopt better, more sustainable business practices. Great work what we've done so far, let's keep it up!

    Hey brother. I run a Christian ministry and was wondering what the procedure might be for getting waste donated to the ministry like this? Thanks so much for all you do and God bless your success.
