This is a link to a piece from Julian Baggini, ahead of the publication of his book which I have a copy of explored the scandal of food waste.
In some indigenous groups, food waste is seen as a crime. For the Maasai people of Tanzania those who waste food are 'lunatics'.
A large percentage of food is wasted in some countries as a result of various aspects of the food system.
The USA is particularly bad at this.
Waste food comes from a number of sources. This diagram shows some more detail...
In the Breckland Council district where I live, two different sized caddies were delivered last week, as food waste collections are going to be started.
