  • We waste at least a third of the world's food. National Geographic 2014 Emerging Explorer and activist Tristram Stuart says "ridiculously strict" cosmetic standards among consumers play a major role. His solution: Eat foods often considered too ugly to sell. Stuart works to inspire people to join a "food-waste revolution," with initiatives like volunteer harvest programs and free communal feasts of food that would otherwise be wasted.

    It is sad to know all the good food are going wasted, and Corporate will not give these away for free to the poor. You might as well pick those rejected food at dumpster. I once worked for fast food restaurant. We throw perfectly edible fried chicken in the dumpster, because of it's appearance or being keep in the oven too long being unsold. No employee were allow to take them home, it is destined to end up in the dumpster.

    Why don't they just give the rejected food to local food banks?

    Food prices are getting so high. 20 years ago, I could manage to get enough food for under $60.00 a week. Now I have to spend more than $120.00 a week. My prices are doubling no matter what I do. The food is not nearly as good either.

      @@danielmoran3578 That's a really dumb idea. The Nevada desert is too dry for it to rot and decompose properly. It would most likely feed scavengers and other local fauna, and make them reliant on humans for sustenance.

    What's so ironic about this "movement" is that the whole tendency to regard food according to the way it looks is a result of previous generations of professional food people: chefs, procurers, etc., constantly proscribing food that didn't measure up to some ideal. One can probably still find books that warn against apples or tomatoes that happen to have some kind of slight bruising or avoid lettuces in which the color is something less than emerald green.
    Of course, there is nothing wrong with eating a less-than-perfect red apple, if you allow yourself the experience.
    But most people, especially Americans, have this status hang-up going. It is not just to do with the food's appearance, but how the person him- or herself measures up.

      I grew up with gardens and trees. I know mushrooms and how to make butter,
      Today the internet for TV shows perfect foods.
      It's crazy. I'm in Asia now. I took a photo of the fruits I had and noted that my fruits all looked messed up.
      It is true I get a rottern piece sometimes,
