We have hundreds of thousands of photos, thousands of videos, articles, graphics, and designs, and multiple websites that illuminate sustainable, honorable, responsible options that support a better world for all creatures and our living planet, and we look forward to continuing to share them here on the blockchain.

We have been visual artists for years with combined decades of experience, and Steemit productions are one of our latest masteries! We offer our consulting services to help one and all improve their own success on this platform - stay tuned for an upcoming post with more info.

Without further ado, Live Truth Productions is pleased to present: Consumers & Businesses Waste 40% of the Food Produced in the US.





 “Getting food from the farm to our fork eats up:  

--10 percent of the total U.S. energy budget 

--50 percent of U.S. Land 

--80 percent of all freshwater consumed in the United States.  

Yet, 40 percent of food in the United States today goes uneaten.  

This not only means that Americans are throwing out the equivalent of $165 billion each year, but also that the uneaten food ends up rotting in landfills as the single largest component of U.S. municipal solid waste where it accounts for a l6% of U.S. methane emissions.  


Reducing food losses by just 15 percent would be enough food to feed more than 25 million Americans every year at a time when one in six Americans lack a secure supply of food to their tables.”

Despicable!

This was quite apparent back when I worked in the restaurant industry. So much gets thrown away. Especially things like soup. 50% of it was thrown away at the end of the day. Or when a plate gets sent back for some small flaw, It gets thrown away, and a new plate is made. I remember getting waffle cones for an ice cream promotion. In the meeting about the promotion they told us they expected 70-80% of the cones to break and be un-usable by the time they were shipped to us. They were so cheap to make they still made a profit after throwing so much away. If Americans ate out less we could make a huge dent in wasted food.

Yes restaurants are one of the most unsustainable businesses on Earth, yet people go there multiple times every week with no thought to the impact it has on the whole world and every living creature on it. So many wasted resources, so much unconsciousness...
