A mid-morning US harvest

🗑️ A mid-morning US harvest: peanut butter & olives! US retailers are estimated to be wasting $18 billion of food annually — twice their profits. Imagine how much this inefficiency is costing consumers?⁣ ⁣

🇺🇸 Has the inflation crisis altered US retail food waste? ⁣ ⁣

🌎 Has climate crisis altered US retail food waste? ⁣ ⁣ Has the biodiversity crisis altered US retail food waste?⁣ ⁣ After 27 years of “carrot” incentives by US legislators, is it not the time to start exploring some “sticks” to complement the carrots?⁣ ⁣ It’s no secret that we are living in Oligopolistic times.⁣ ⁣ Ludicrous retail food waste is just one of the results of this remarkable concentration of power.⁣ ⁣ If this is mid-morning, imagine what’s get chucked at the end of the day?⁣ ⁣
