Let's keep the wages stagnant for 40 years, and come up with new ways for the average American to do more things because they're so naughty, 40% of food goes to waste you naughty American. What else should Americans do, use less water when showering, to fix 'water waste'? Maybe the problem lies elsewhere... To take it apart a little more - why is 40% of the food being thrown out a problem? What do we gain by cutting that down to 20%? Do we have a food shortage? Agriculture is 0.9% of America's GDP and less than 0.7% of the population is involved in farming and fishing combined. [0] It's not at all clear there is any food 'waste' occurring and even if there is, it's not at all unclear where it sits on the list of priorities. I'd say somewhere near the bottom.
