Food waste is not an issue. The whole point of an industrialized food system is that we all can eat. Being able to throw food away should be considered a good thing compared to the rest of history before the 1940s. People back then often ate what they could get and were skinny cause they couldn't eat. Obviously in a perfect world we'd consume things to the max percentage possible, but it's not a perfect world. This article comes from a pretentious first world view that forgets most of the world starved in a pre industrial era for most of their lives. Having people become obese is very weirdly a good problem to have since it's a lot easier to resolve than having to figure out how to equitably get enough food for your people to be satiated.

- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoBlaming obese people's food choices is like blaming spoons for making you fat. If you can afford to become obese, you most definitely can afford to purchase fresh vegetables and healthier options all around. It's not the same thing as malnutrition because you're starving. One is death because your arteries are clogged. The other is death because you're body can't sustain itself.
