Hidden Hunger in America

Up to 1/5th of America's food goes to waste each year, with an estimated 130 pounds of food per person ending up in landfills. The annual value of this lost food is estimated at around $31billion. But the real story is that roughly 49 million people could have been fed by those lost resources. (USDA DAN GLICKMAN SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE)
