“There is food for everyone on this planet, but not everyone eats,” exclaimed Carlo Petrini, the founder of a grassroot movement. Food is thrown out by regular people and big companies as if it is nothing, when in fact it’s almost worth its weight in gold to the hungry. Human nature stands in the way of getting unwanted food to those who need it. This paper talks about how a person’s routine adds to food waste; the impact food waste has on nature; and the laws that prevented the shipment of food to the poor. Forty percent of all of America’s food ends up in the trash and is never eaten, this may seem surprising since Americans look like they are never at a loss for food (Gunders).
