A new study found that one out of every four land animals raised for food in 2019 wound up in the trash. That’s 18 billion animals total, or 2.4 for every human on earth. It’s incredibly bad in the US where it’s 7.1 animals wasted per person. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

This is shockingly sad. And when you take into account the ways that livestock farming can negatively impact the land, double yikes.

Shocking. We, as human beings, should be ashamed of ourselves. Earth is hell for most animals. 😔

Wait until you hear how many fruits and veggies don't get consumed. Almost half of all harvests
Guess we shouldn't eat those, either!
Half of all US food produce is thrown away, new research suggests www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm extremely skeptical about these reports: I spent quite some time digging through the citation chain to find out about the commonly repeated "we throw away a quarter of our food" factoid and it turned out to be largely wrong, with all kinds of things like corn stalks and chaff defined as "food".
