ReplyDeleteMeat is the Least of Your Worries
ReplyDeleteApproximately 40 percent of food in the U.S. goes to waste. Food and Agriculture Organization
Roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year — approximately 1.3 billion tons — gets lost or wasted. Food and Agriculture Organization
Every year, consumers in rich countries waste almost as much food (222 million tons) as the entire net food production of sub-Saharan Africa (230 million tons). Food and Agriculture Organization
Over 97% of food waste generated ends up in the landfill. (Environmental Protection Agency)
33 million tons of food makes its way to landfills each year. (Environmental Protection Agency)
Consumer and foodservice food waste is the largest source of food loss in the marketing chain. Economic Research Services
Food waste that goes to the landfill breaks down anaerobically and produces methane; methane is 21 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. (Environmental Protection Agency)
In 2008, the EPA estimated that food waste cost roughly $1.3 billion to dispose of in landfills. (Journal of Consumer Affairs)
While the cost of synthetic meat (lab grown) is coming down substantially, we still waste 1.3 billion tons per year. That includes all the food (at the top of your chart) that gets thrown out and never makes it to the store simply because of minor defects.
The problem isn't eating meat. We've solved that one in the labs already and are working to commercialize it proper. The problem is wasting food altogether for really dumb reasons
