Food waste will not be addressed properly without cultural shifts. Granted, certain technological improvements may prompt them, but that's a bit backwards of a problem solving method.

I'd disagree. Title is appropriate "could cut food waste" is very true and pretty mild. A clickbait title would be "Gene-edited non-browning bananas will solve food waste problem"

I wonder if things like tipping culture will encourage people to eat at home and be more mindful about their consumption. I hate being extorted for 25% tips and then told if I can’t afford the 25% then I shouldn’t be eating out.
Kind of how the hatred of dealing with printer companies and their extortionist ink prices accelerated the shift to paperless.
So maybe we’ll get to a better state, perhaps not through the means we expected.

It's mild click bait. They aren't slamming hunger in the nuts, my point is the banana turns brown. It's not "non-browning".
