the us wastes about over 356 billion pounds and 96.4 billion is ediable.
. Fresh produce, milk, grain products and sweeteners made up two-thirds of the waste.
A more recent study by the Environmental Protection Agency estimated that Americans generate roughly 30 million tons of food waste each year, which is about 12 percent of the total waste stream. All but about 2 percent of that food waste ends up in landfills; by comparison, 62 percent of yard waste is composted.
Of course, eliminating food waste won't solve the problems of world hunger and greenhouse-gas pollution. But it could make a dent in this country and wouldn't require a huge amount of effort or money. The Department of Agriculture estimated that recovering just 5 percent of the food that is wasted could feed four million people a day; recovering 25 percent would feed 20 million people.
Americans produce quite a bit of waste as a group. Specifically, each person generates nearly five pounds of waste per day. As a group, Americans generate around 250 million tons of waste per year.
Roughly that number in dollars would be $205,479,452 in food a day.
Using a dollar amount to describe waste isn't a good answer, as the value of money changes, the weight of food does not. People need to stop erasing good answers and putting in bad ones.
