The easiest way to eliminate food waste would be to eliminate fresh produce, meat, and baked goods. If it can't be canned or frozen, process it and pump it full of preservatives until it can.

- refurb 7y agoThe OP is accurate. Canned food would see much less waste.
- defterGoose 7y agoExcept for all the extra packaging needed....not to mention the energy overhead of the processing operation and the fact that a world with only preserved food would suck......like really hard.
- refurb 7y agoYou’re not willing to sacrifice good food to save the environment?
- hombre_fatal 7y agoMost people won't even sacrifice food they like to avoid the suffering of conscious beings. The "environment" is even more abstract. It's a non-starter.
- scotty79 7y agoSome people can't sacrifice food they like to avoid their own personal suffering.

- panzagl 7y agoI'd like to see a comparison of the energy costs of canning versus maintaining the refrigeration chain needed for fresh, my gut tells me that canning is a centralized process and therefore more open to efficiencies than refrigerated trucks and storage. But anyone who's worked produce can tell you a lot of stuff gets thrown away at each step before it reaches the consumer.
