Higher grocery prices ARE a result of greedflation, investigation shows:

26. We throw away way too much food as well.

It's a complex equation that few take the time to think about. We could definitely survive on less and throw away less. We've become too hypnotized by abundance and our so-called "throw away" society.

Food for thought.

Food Loss and Waste
In the United States, food waste is estimated at between 30–40 percent of the food supply. This figure, based on estimates from USDA’s Economic Research Service of food loss at the retail and consumer levels, corresponded to approximately 133 billion pounds and $161 billion worth of food in 2010. Food is the single largest category of material placed in municipal landfills and represents wasted nourishment that could have helped feed families in need. Additionally, water, energy, and labor used to produce wasted food could have been employed for other purposes. Effectively reducing food waste will require cooperation among federal, state, tribal and local governments, faith-based institutions, environmental organizations, communities, consumers, and the entire supply chain.
