#3Food waste is a huge problem in Africa (no joke). Seasonal food such as banana is not harvested fast enough:
> [There’s] $4 billion (USD) equivalent of food losses in a year in the continent and if you can conceptualize what four billion can do to alleviate poverty in our various countries, then you can understand the waste and the economic deprivation that food loss is causing the continent,

#4Telling people to not "waste" food does the opposite, because now people will eat too much because it's more than they need, thus becoming fatter etc. and then being shitty workers and ending up producing much less food than they don't throw out.
Sometimes there is ideas that are short-sighted but difficult problems so it's understandable to just look at it like an idiot. This isn't one of them, this like an idea from a 2 year old, literally. Like one from the ghetto who hasn't even learned their ABC's yet.

#5Italy just passed a law regarding food waste: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36965671 - I wonder how that compares to the rules in place in the US? It seems fairly sensible.

They should call this bill the "well people have now descended below the threshold of feeding themselves" bill

#7Gotta love the morons who think it is possible to avoid wasting food completely. Reliability is only achieved through redundancy. If we only ever had just enough of everything, we would always be on the brink of a famine if something went wrong.
Reminds me of the local cafeteria at my uni that reduced food waste, so when I went there at 1PM to avoid the crowds (they served until 1:30PM) there was just no food left. Good job, so helpful.

And after all, "Winter is coming." I'm kidding, but really, it would also mean that a country without such a precarious balance could conquer you without military force.
I would prefer not to be at the mercy of some crop dusters with paraquat.

#9Paying more for scraps than for fresh food? Absolutely ridiculous. Leave it to SF hipsters to be into this kind of thing, especially while talking about how "green" and "eco-friendly" they are.

#10There's a CSA I just signed up called Imperfect Produce. They deliver boxes of produce that doesn't meet the aesthetic requirements for grocery stores. Sounds like a more economical version of this.
