> If food is wasted before it's sold wouldn't it be better to target the overproduction of food rather than the consumption? At least some amount of overproduction is absolutely required as an insurance against harvest failures and other similar issues affecting food production. Now I've got no idea how much overproduction is really required for that and how it compares to the current state of our food production, but I hazard a guess that zero is almost certainly not the right answer.
