So much food waste exists because food is incredibly cheap. Like, most of the time money spent recovering waste to give to the poor would be more effective if you just bought more food with it. That’s how cheap it is, and that’s why nobody follows economic incentives to recover the waste without further prompting (there aren’t such incentives).

- calderracrusade 3y agoLogistics is also why "food is cheap" is a stupid argument. If the food hadn't been ordered, it wouldn't have been shipped, it wouldn't have been grown... It's silly to directly relate the exact food a kid didn't eat on a buffet in Los Angeles to a starving family in Detroit, but that doesn't mean there are zero lines to draw.
