Overproduction of food by about 20% is by design in the west, as I understand it. Because you'd rather have a bit too much (which isn't a big problem), than too little (which would quickly be an enormous problem). The problems we're facing now are not caused by that overproduction of food, so I think it isn't a good argument. I also hate food waste, because it seems to dumb. But I think it is there for a reason - at least to some degree.
