<b>food is still tremendously cheap in relation to our incomes</b>
we waste food because we take it for granted, simple as that. food whatever is so abundant <a target="_blank" href="http://www.positive-plate.com/">positive plate</a> in this country. we produce about twice the amount of calories needed to feed all americans, and it shows -- both in the levels of obesity and waste.
<p></p>
furthermore, we waste food because we can. for many americans, food is still tremendously cheap in relation to our incomes. true, food prices have risen in the last few years. yet we still only spend about 10 percent of our disposable income on food -- less than any other nation. those last few scoops of broccoli may seem pretty <a target="_blank" href="http://www.positive-plate.com/">positive plate</a> worthless, but those actions have a cumulative effect. the average family of four throws out $1,350 of food every year (using the conservative 15 percent rate of waste advocated by some experts).
<p></p>
finally, we squander so much of our food because we've become quite superficial about it. we expect our fresh foods to be both beautiful and uniform, or at least supermarkets think we do. anything not cosmetically flawless nor the right shape and size is cast aside at some point in the food chain. this increased emphasis on our <a target="_blank" href="http://www.positive-plate.com/">positive plate</a> food's appearance stems largely from the ever-increasing popularity of food tv and the abundance of glossy cooking whatever magazines. yet, food isn't always "glossy."
