Salad waste accounts for 68 percent of the fresh food waste. . .People have intentions to eat healthy but end up eating the sugars first and let the greens go to waste. . . International sugar addiction!
Recycling is NOT the solution to over consumption or overproduction, but this is a cool program that is going on in our backyards that I mentioned in class a couple weeks ago. East Bay Municipal Utility district converts food scraps to energy and uses this energy to power its operations:
Interesting to consider that grocery deals can push people into buying food they won't eat. A similar phenomenon to clothes, phones, etc. but it almost feels more perverse with food. Non-perishable goods are perhaps a different story. But with fresh produce, how does a marketer balance promoting incentives to buying fresh with buying what you can actually eat before it goes bad? Not to mention the buyers' responsibility to buy smart. It's a teeter-totter of obligations.
