Why Does The U.S. Waste So Much Food?

When we think of what’s hurting our planet, we typically don’t consider the food we throw away, or where it ends up.

In the U.S., about a third of the food produced is never eaten. That’s about 90 billion meals worth each year, according to Refed, a national nonprofit. 

It comes as estimates show 42 million Americans face hunger every day.
