Everybody’s talking about it — the rising price of food, mounting food insecurity! But go beyond the headlines and you find another story — shocking food waste.

Timely topic, Doug. Thanks for bring it up. I received a copy of Frances Moore Lappé's Diet for a Small Planet, 50th Anniversary Edition for Christmas this year and she has a lot to say about food waste too. Check it out for that info and all the rest of her presentation on our collective food dilemma. And thanks for your comment on my New Year's Day post.
