Environmental Impact." Plos ONE 4.11 (2009): 1-6. Academic Search Premier. Web. 6 Oct. 2015.
The above graph shows some research done on the progression of food waste over time. Clearly, the numbers are increasing. Part of this may have to do with the fact that food production has also increased, but food waste has still been on the rise even with that factored into the equation.
The article focused on the United States and - honestly - had a lot of math towards the end of the article, which made it all the more confusing to me. Also, this seemed to focus more on the weight gain of Americans versus food waste and its environmental impact, as I assumed it would be based on the title.
This did make me think back to Just Eat It when Grant Baldwin was saying that he had gained 10 pounds in the process of only eating food waste, but other than that and a few iterations of the sheer energy that is wasted by wasting food, this article was not fantastic in adding to my research.
