I'm much closer to "let's burn down capitalism" than "the market knows best", but I don't get food waste concerns. There's waste because it's very cheap. There'd be less waste if it were more expensive—but then poor people would suffer (more). That goes for waste in the field, waste in the kitchen, waste in the supply chain and at grocery stores, all of it. Most people don't save veggie scraps or chicken bones to make broth or stock or whatever, unless they really value the improved flavor over store-bought, because it's a really expensive (time-cost) and inconvenient (goes bad faster than store-bought stuff in a factory-sealed container) way to get broth, to pick one example. Same goes for waste at restaurants. A few good apples rot on the ground because you'd lose money saving them, because apples are so cheap. You want less waste, raise prices. Turns out almost no one wants less waste that bad.
