How much food gets wasted before it reaches our dinner plates, and how much do we then throw out uneaten?
For example, for every apple we eat, how many never make it to the supermarkets and get dumped, how many get dumped at the supermarket and how many get dumped from peoples homes?
I'd like to find out how much of our foods that we never actually use and what get dumped in the food chain.
A whole heck of a lot!
