You know what's wild? That we feed roughly 9 billion people... Daily... Every day. Every. Single. Day.

Even if we cut out the malnourished or rationed people, we are feeding in excess at least 300 million in the US. I can't accurately understand that number of mouths to feed vs the wild. We are absolute savages and don't even understand it. We consume animals like zombies.

you know what's REALLY wild? When I was a kid, there were roughly 4.5 billion people to feed every day. I'm not that old, but the global population has doubled in my lifetime. Crazy.

On top of that, the US throws out something like...40% (I think?) of the food we produce. And a significant portion of that is food that has a long shelf-life in order to cycle out branding/labels.

Tay capitalism.
