According to the World Food Day  website, "The amount of food lost and wasted every year is equal to more than half of the world’s annual cereals crops, 2.3 billion tons." To give you an idea of how much that is, that is the same as what 40,000,000 houses weigh. Another way to understand how much we waste is by saying that the same amount of food waste as 37,735 titanic ships weigh. To reduce these numbers buy only what you need and can consume when shopping. It is better to do small frequent shopping and buy food in small quantities or appropriate to your families size. Perishables should be consumed first and if they do spoil put them to compost instead of trash.

It's also important to know how to properly store leftovers. A lot of food gets thrown away because it wasn't kept properly, when it could've lasted much longer. This occurs frequently with produce.

I totally agree with you Elizabeth. It is important that everyone knows to only buy what we will consume and need. If everyone bought only what they needed, or used it in someway, our world would seemingly be a lot cleaner and more environmentally friendly.

Hey, how's it going? How are you??

U better chill

hey

I completely agree with this, we need to stop wasting food. The amount of food the US waists is a disgrace to the country, we should be making a huge effort to stop waisting food and get the food to people who really need it. I sometimes think about this, there is people around the world my age who have to go to great lengths to get food just to survive, and I am over here in the safety of the US with easy access to food. I hope people watch how much food they take so that they will not waist as much.

I agree with you Elizabeth. I think that we waste  too much food on a daily basis.  Plenty of people  sometimes do not have enough food to eat and we should take that into consideration, create a way to find the right amount of food for our homes and use the food we have to make other meals.
