It's time to step up to the plate - but not waste what's on it. The National Resources Defense Council reports that about 40% of all food in the US goes uneaten. Each year, we are throwing away the equivalent of $165 billion in discarded food, making it the single largest component of solid waste in America's landfills and costing the average family of four between $1,350 and $@,@2,275 annually.
About two third of household waste consists of spoiled food that's not used in time; the rest is caused by people cooking or serving too much food.
