      Wasting food is morally wrong across cultures. After all, about 800 million peopleworldwide suffer from hunger. But according to a report from the United Nations, people waste2.9 trillion pounds of food a year around the world. In developing nations much food is lost afterthe harvest for lack of storage facilities, good roads, and refrigeration. In comparison, developednations waste more food when retailers order, serve, or display too much and when consumersignore leftovers in the fridge or get rid of foods before they have expired.
     Wasting food also negatively affects our environment. If we produce food that no one eats,we also waste the water, fertilizer, seeds, fuel, and land needed to grow it. For example, a year’sglobal production of uneaten food uses as much water as the annual flow of the Volga River,Europe’s largest river. In the U.S., retailers and consumers are estimated to discard 133 billionpounds of food each year. These examples just show how many natural resources have beenwasted, and how our environment might be damaged with the air or river pollution.
     Reducing food waste has become an important issue that needs to be dealt with. Some U.S.schools are setting up sharing tables, letting students serve themselves portions they know theywill eat, and giving them more time for lunch. Many businesses, such as grocery stores andrestaurants, have planned to order food wisely and move excess food to charities. It is alsoimportant to examine conditions farther up the supply chain, where supermarket standards andordering methods lead to massive food waste.
