    But we are. According to the USDA, food waste makes up 22% of the food industries 26% CO2 emissions. And don’t forget the diseases food waste produces.

      That food waste is largely due to arbitrary date labels and grocery stores throwing out literal tons of perfectly good food instead of donating it.

        And believe it or not, part of this is because people don’t like to pick up the weird looking tomato, or the banana with a few peckles.
