Wasting Food
Grist has the John Oliver video on the subject--as usual quite funny. There's an interesting bit with a farmer at a farmers market noting that it's difficult to sell the last item in the last hour. People like to choose, and they look askance at things which people before them have not chosen. Particularly with produce there's got to be some differences among items, so the last one left likely is the least desirable, and who wants to buy the least desirable?
