per the link in the parent comment, only 13% of food waste occurs in the supermarket. Supermarkets do waste a lot but there is a lot of work to do elsewhere. If less waste occurred elsewhere perhaps less would be sold, but I do not see why that would necessitate a planned economy. In fact, 43% of the waste is in the household. This is an addressable gap that doesn't require legislation, just for just for people to be more diligent about the first two Rs in Reduce/Reuse/Recycle.
