While I do believe many waste food, I also must point out that much of this sort of data is questionable. They ask questions like, "In the past month have you had any problems feeding your family". Well, I can tell you that I can have plenty of food and have problems feeding my family. It all depends on how one views the question.

They may send out questions to children in school asking, "In the past month have you not had the food you wanted?" My kids may want pizza and hotdogs every night, but they are not going to get it! So, of course if I fixed meals they might not have liked they would answer "yes" to that.

Let's see the data they drew this report from and then see how it was analyzed. Did they design questions around getting a result they wanted? Would scientists ever manipulate data to get a result they want? I think the recent "Global climate warming" scam proves they will lie, scheme, and manipulate data to prove their hypothesis and gain monetarily to continue fraudulent work.

So, yes much is wasted. Where I work, we throw away tons of food! The reason so many businesses do throw food away instead of donating it to the poor is because the minute one of those people get a tummy ache they will sue you. Just like the health care debacle you have to look deeper for the real truth and ways to fix the real problems from those real facts.

Many of these "poor" countries can also look to their own leadership for using food as a weapon against the people. They take our aid, cut their food programs and increase their military or force people into military service to get the food. I am thankful to live where I do, and be a member of a country that along with all it's wrong doings, has a good record of helping out around the world as well. The American people are a very giving bunch, and it amazes me how fast so many are to disparage all things American.

What are you or your country doing to help the down trodden and poor?
