    Foodwaste is not even considered as a problem coz u can turn it into compost, plastic is the real problem we should be thinking about...🤔

      Absolutely agree with you. Packaging is more a problem than food itself. Of course we sometimes throw away food, but in our family, it does not happen that often. We can manage that quite well. But we can’t do much about the packaging that comes with the food, unless we had time to do our shopping every day. Our way of life does not allow us to do that.

      Not all food can be turned into compost though. Restaurants throw out their leftovers at the end of the day, and some people are wasteful and throw away perfectly good food. Granted, plastic is a major problem with a ginormous environmental footprint, but food waste needs to be resolved, especially when perfectly good food could be still be consumed and used to feed those in need.

      Waste food is disgraceful.
      In China 🇨🇳 we have a ancient poem called “The Peasant's Lot “.

    The nhs provide three, three course meals a day to each patient…..most is wasted yet we’re fired on the spot for eating so much as a stale roll!! I wanted one (a STALE, out of date bread roll) for my soup, was just opening it, a nurse came in and demanded I put it into the bin stating “ I was lucky not to have taken a bite”! Not to mention the sandwiches, cakes, biscuits, cheese crackers, yoghurt provided to patients too! Most of that ends up in the bin too! Patients will order a three course meal too…..”might as well mum, it’s free” is the attitude of the relatives. It put the food out in front of them and half hour later, untouched, I take it all away and scrape it into the bin! Thirty patients in my ward, two wards to each floor, nine floors! That’s not counting cardiology, children’s, maternity, psychology! Could start there as there are thousands of hospitals and the waste is the same! When you have a system of waste like that every mealtime and people ordering and providing too much you’ll never stop the problem! Food is plenty for mans need, not mans GREED

    Retail cooperations contribute massively to food waste. Their operations requires perfectly edible food to go to waste at the end of each business day.

    Supermarkets should be exempt from any repercussion when selling or giving away food that's about to spoil.

To think what it took to grow, process, package, transport, stock and then throw it away is sickening.
    Large families, institutions & restaurants throw away so much it's depressing. With smartphones and the way we're connected it maybe a good idea to share extra food via an app and the delivery services. Then again I guess that would really work with better community.

    There should be a change in America where all the food from grocery stores gets donated to school for meal and compost to grow. They should mandate the hiring of foor workers to make kids food fresh.

    What we NEED to worry about is the NON-DEGRADABLE PACKAGING of that food that contributes WAY MORE to pollution. Tax the manufacturers on the amount of packaging in ratio to the amount of biodegradable food it contains. The more plastic covering your food product, the higher your tax.

    In a word, compost !!!! Compost the waste, then use the compost to feed the soil and grow more food.

    the solution is to stop selling food.......... and having every one grow their own. People are gonna be alot less likely to waste it, when they are the ones who had to put in all the time and effort into growing it........... and of course, that would also cut out all the industrial middlemen who waste it as well.

    "The amount of good food we waste would fit into 23 million fully-loaded 40-tonne trucks.

    And if these trucks were lined up bumper-to-bumper, then the queue would be long enough to circle the Earth seven times."
    Terrible communication. This doesn't tell me anything about how much food this is. This just tells me how long 23 million trucks is. Good communication would be telling me how many mouths that could feed, or the average food consumption of a country.

    Firstly we could build less supermarkets, after all i live in a small town and we have 2 supermarkets in 10 min walking distance and a new one being planned about 5 mins walk away
    Supermarkets could start giving their food when it’s close to date to local food charities instead of throwing it away in the bin loads and family can stop filling up the trolling to overflowing when going shopping and shop more often just for what they need..

    First of all never waste food for good , secondly area wise volunteers should come up to collect food , thirdly the collected food must be cleanly sorted out and give to poor as per your area wise ,and one more important issue take a drive you will find hunger dogs without food, feed stray dogs on the roadside, However a country may be rich don't forget that millions who go to bed even without one time meal , so R the dogs and birds , my advice to fellow reader's of this article, please eat as much as you want but don't waste food ,we should also advise our children that nothing comes free , so take care to help the nature by God given food, NGO s must and volunteers must help in this regard, i have people seen during Covid Time people struggling for food take care
