Thanksgiving Dinner Will Result in 305M Pounds of Food Waste in the U.S.

- eesmith 4y agoI'm confused about how this piece uses the term "food waste". The linked-to page about says "that food could go a long way towards feeding the 38.3 M food insecure people in the U.S." However, from the same site, https://refed.org/food-waste/the-problem/#what_is_food_waste https://refed.org/food-waste/the-problem/#what_is_food_waste : > ReFED defines “food waste” as uneaten food and inedible parts that end up being landfilled, incinerated, disposed of down the sewer, dumped, or spread onto land. Inedible turkey bones, from that definition, count as "food waste". Which wouldn't help feed the 38.3 M food insecure people in the U.S.
