It’s no secret that we eat more than we need – look around at all the expanding waste lines. We also buy more than we eat. That wasted food averages out to about 163 pounds of food for each man, woman, and child – that’s 48 Million tons of wasted food a year ending up in landfills. Go green and clean your plate! Producing food and not wasting it requires less energy and water consumption.
