    Americans throw away 40% of all food produced in a year. This waste would only be justified if no Americans lived in food-insecure households, which is far from the case. The photo of the homeless man searching among mountains of wasted food personifies this problem. Just as a holocaust survivor puts a face with a tragic event, this image gives the viewer a different perspective of food waste. Instead of only seeing statistics on the unfed homeless, this photo embodies desperation and confusion.…

    Students in Chicago Public Schools were not pleased with their free lunchroom food- not that they are being too picky but because the food is outright "disgusting, unhealthy, unappetizing and overly processed. " When these kids' palate cannot take it anymore, they did something revolutionary; they took the issue of school cafeteria food in the internet. Every meal in nearly every CPS lunchroom is made by the district and are given free to every student. With the federally subsidized program's intention of having kids coming from low-income families benefit from free meals, ending mountains of sometimes fraudulent lunch paperwork, moving lunch lines faster, and making it easier for everyone to get a school meal, officials expected to see an…

    Some people in America witness the disposal of edible food. One may have seen their friends throw away half of their uneaten food in the trash at school or see their parents dispose the fast food that’s about a week old.

If this problem continues, eventually, “in forty years when you order a pizza from Domino’s, they’ll just deliver it straight to the nearest dumpster” (“Last Week Tonight”). There is tons of food that are wasted despite the fact that there are Americans suffering from hunger.…

    Inspired by a forsaken orange that sat in a North Carolina parking lot, Jonathan Bloom wrote American Wasteland to examine the growing problem of food-waste in America. I think Bloom did a tremendous job by presenting this looming issue. His numerous anecdotes pertaining to food-waste creates an innate sense of relatability, which in turn direct readers’ attention to the statistical and logical presentations of the issue. This is an impressive feat because Bloom avoided coming off as preachy or judgmental in a book that attempts to raise awareness of something that general Americans have already decided it’s not important (xvi). As a result, Bloom’s systematic way of examining every aspect of America's habit of wasting food comes off as interesting…

    In the article, “Food Security: The Challenge of Feeding 9 Billion People,” published on January 28, 2010, Charles Godfray asserts that because of the continuing growing population and the growth of food consumption, the demand for food will increase for at least 40 years due to the lack of certain factors which could prevent the issues being faced with the demand for food. Godfray supports his implication by supplying the reader with a variety of causes as to why the demand for food has continued to rise such as the yield gap, production limits, the change of diets, yet at the same time provides solutions to these certain complications which could reduce the demand for so much food. Moreover, Godfray wishes to convey the readers into understanding the importance of reducing the impact of the food system on the environment and the certain precautions or actions that can be taken in order to better the situation by creating a “multifaceted and linked global strategy” to…
