Entirely true. For the first time in history, much of the
world has more food than it can eat, give away, and throw
away. Hunger is experienced mostly by choice for most
of those in the developed countries.

Did you know that Americans throw out more than 28 billion pounds
of food each year, about 100 pounds per person? A quarter to a half
of all food grown for humans is wasted.

Come on. Who throws away 100 pounds of food per year? That statistic is
simply wrong.

Beg pardon? That amounts to a little over four ounces per day,
in volume: one third of a can of Pepsi.

You find that remarkable? I don't.
