Wasting away

Research indicates that anywhere between 25 - 50% of food produced in the United States ends up going to waste. Some point to large refrigerators where food gets lost and forgotten as the culprit.

I blame The Food Network.

According to a Cornell University study most of the food that's thrown out is purchased for recipes that are never made. So clearly it's not the people who are to blame, it's the recipes.

Okay, maybe it's the people.

    Wow, cross-reference this statistic with recent obesity statistics and one might ask, "How much food are we buying?" We're eating more AND discarding more.

    Hmm, all this talk about food is making me hungry ...
