Do you know how often you actually waste food?

Do you actually think about how much food you come in contact with that goes to waste? Here in the US food seems like more of a commodity of recreation, celebration etc than substance to keep the body alive. Even with 60% of Americans being over weight (Nightline and Time magazine) food is still being wasted. Have you ever gone to a party, pot luck, wake, wedding etc and there was food left over or certain dishes and there is always one that was hardly eaten because it wasn’t popular and it got tossed out because no one wanted it? Where as food here is seem as a dining experience other people around the world would see it as the means to keep their youngest child alive one more day, Do you think about the food around you that is wasted and if you have the opportunity to save it do you think to do it?
