'Food waste is a major issue in the United States. According to the USDA, between 30% and 40% of the national food supply goes to waste; that’s roughly 133 billion pounds of food, valued at $161 billion, according to the most recent comprehensive data available. This is slightly yet significantly higher than the roughly 28% of food that is lost and wasted globally.'

We all know that over 30% of food is wasted. Do you really care about reducing food waste? Then let’s create impact together!

So: Fight #FoodWaste --> Go #PlantBased!
