It is interesting that we have a problem "wasting" food....I considered it a waste when you stick it to your hips and then need the various surgeries to get it off
You should see how much is thrown away at the resturants!
There was an article I read once that there's a conspircany to keep poor people at the bottom by keeping unhealthy food inexpensive to buy with food stamps. The author figured that the poor would die off quicker if they have access to useless food. Of course, that idea would back fire because of the healthcare costs to treat the ilnesses that arise and when people use the ER as a clinic for every ailment.
