"It may come as a surprise, but the biggest single category of material found in America’s landfills is not plastic, or electronics, or your back issues of National Geographic. It is food.
Post-harvest food waste levels in the United States are about 121 billion pounds a year, according to a 2012 study commissioned by the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and the Food Marketing Institute (FMI). That represents about 390 pounds per person a year. And what’s worse, about two-thirds of it ends up in landfills, where it doesn’t just sit; it produces methane, a greenhouse gas more than 20 times as potent as carbon dioxide."

Dont think the article touches on GMOS (its monsanto), but considering GMOs is a lot about extending the life of food for less waste it could be a good thing. Wonder if earth saving hippies can compromise with big industry and evolve
