That pizza an hour ago sure wasn't wasted... buuurp

I don't think wasted food is not the real problem. It's the lack of infrastructure and political stability to ensure a proper intensive farming and abundance of food.
We can't take a half eaten steak and ship to subsharan Africa or soup leftovers to the slums of India. We also can't re-serve it to the next customer.
But the truth also is, that we intentionally destroy tonns of grain or other produce to ensure the prices don't fall too much.
