Food waste is a growing problem both in the United States and across the globe. In North America alone anywhere from 30-40% of perfectly edible food ends up in the trash each year. To put it in perspective that is almost 20 pounds of food per person, per month! While the fact that most ends up in our landfills is bad enough, what's worse is that over 48 million Americans, including 15.3 million kids, live in households that do not have sufficient food! Now, concerned citizens are trying to raise awareness of the issue with some innovative ideas.

      This interested me after I started to read it. I never throw away food in school, I usually put it in the bins.

                    I would want to join one of those dinner parties. Also, most of the time, the food we bought doesn't go wasted. Only sometimes when it is expired that happens.
