Meat-eating is the most wasteful way to eat, consuming resources all out of proportion with the number of people fed. Plant-based foods (excluding corporate monocrops like franken-corn) are more nourishing and much more considerate of our environment.

Dana Gunders, a project scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, and author Jonathan Bloom [wastedfood.com; American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food (and What We Can Do About It)] discuss the economic and environmental impacts of food waste, and what can be done to fight the growing problem.
