Picture this, the 8th-grade students of Forest Park Middle School gather in the lunchroom lines as the `lunch ladies plop food on each students plate. The longer the clock ticks, the more food is gathered, and the more gathered will end up as always, in the garbage.
Yep, you got it, it's wasted food
According to NRDC, " almost 40 percent of the food today goes uneaten." 40 percent! That is almost half of the food!
