At my job for one, if we don't meet our mandatory food writeoff amount , we get written up...just in case, god forbid, a customer walks in and doesn't find his particular sandwich on the shelf....
...another freaky thing is that certain types of staple seeds..like corn are being bio-engineered to be self-terminating by companies like cargill...breeding entire species of animals for profit, rather than to meet the nutritional needs of a single community..growing a ****load of corn to feed those animals and not people...and having a third of that meat thrown out by fast food chains to ensure that some fat **** can have his cheeseburger when he wants it.
I think treating the essentials of life like food and water as mass-produced commodities is what's going to screw us over in the long run.

You're acting like you're letting some cat out of the bag and that these kinda things aren't becoming national concerns.
I don't know what is is with people who say these things aren't getting coverage, this stuff is on the news all the time, it's really hard to escape from it.
