I'm a bit skeptical of the commonly used statistic that we waste x percent of the food we grow/produce (where x usually is 30 or more).
I'm not sure of the units of measurement--is it calories, volume, weight? It makes a difference.
And what is counted--if considering volume or weight, do you include the skins of bananas or the rinds of citrus?
And what is "waste"? Is corn grown for ethanol wasted? Are animal parts used for pet food wasted?
