Americans throw away plenty of food each year.  as per Reuters, “Americans throw away nearly half their food every year, waste worth roughly $165 billion annually“. They are tossing each piece of food that appears along their path. That is precious resources and money pretty much down the drain. Simultaneously there is a huge food problem in Africa and starving kid’s statistics are growing. Keep reading and discover what you don’t know about such scenario.

Imagine what could be achieved by reducing this waste. Only 15% reduction in waste annually can be enough to feed 25 million people. We often hear about poor and starving African children. We see their pictures in the new papers. They are starving. As per Wikipedia,Total African population is 1 Billion and among them, 50% are below age 25. If 15% reduction in waste can feed 25 million people, a 90% reduction would feed 150 million people. Almost the same size of starving African children population.
