        Grocery chains MUST get better re donating produce, prepared foods that can't be sold next day.

        This may be affluent western society's biggest crime. People my age, who lived through food rationing after WW2, struggle to understand this profligacy. Food must be too cheap otherwise consumers would not bin it. In the early 1950s a huge meal, was the biggest of all treats.

        Let's do something about it here in the U.S., where 40% of food is wasted. Tell your representative to support the Food Recovery Act: https://www.addup.org/campaigns/lets-stop-wasting-so-much-food … #foodwaste
