It is such a shame isn't it that so many people in our country don't understand how important it is to not waste food don't you think? I know that I am also to blame sometimes, and when I throw away food that's been in my fridge I often feel guilty, do you? I really try hard not to waste food though. I wish others felt the same way.

After reading this article, i feel that i can definitely relate to it . I defintely am guilty of sometimes wasting food even when it's still fresh. There are times when i buy a really large meal and just leave it in the fridge until it's expired. So reading this article, it made me feel very guilty and uneasy because of how close it hits.

We shouldn't be wasting food like that us Americans when there are so many starving children around the world. We need to find a way to preserve leftover food , renew it and give it to the people in need. It can be the homeless or children in need. The bottom line is we need to make better use of the food so other people can enjoy it.

Food waste is becoming a rather large problem in America. A 2010 study found that one hundred and thirty three billion pounds of edible foods went uneaten in 2010. That is absolutely ridiculous. With as many starving homeless and poor people as are in this country it should not be that so much food is being wasted.
