Food waste is as everyone knows a big problem in almost every country. But if it is such a big problem why are more people not doing something about it? 90% of citizens of the U.S are throwing food out just because they reached the expiration dates! And yet, around 40% of all the food in the U.S are going to waste every year! So, this Argumentative essay will be focusing on discussing the problems with food waste as well as possible solutions.
To summaries, food waste a very big problem in most of the world. Every year millions of pounds of food are being thrown out; this is all because the expiration dates have been reached. But that does not mean that is not eatable or will make you sick. These dates are just telling the customer when the product is freshest. But still, today there are 90% of citizens of the U.S throwing the food out just because of the expiration dates and there are even 40% there are been thrown out unused! Because of the expiration dates when it is still useable. However, the citizens do know about their food waste problem! “There should be a standard date and wording that is used. This is about quality, not safety. You can make your own decision about whether a food still has an edible quality that’s acceptable to you.” says study co-author Emily Broad Leib, the director of Harvard Food Law & Policy Clinic.
