There is a growing concern about the climate being influenced by the expanding phenomona of excess food waste. A shocking article released on <a href="http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Science-Nutrition/US-food-waste-impacts-climate-say-scientists?utm_source=RSS_text_news">foodnavigator-USA </a>has proposed that a study performed on the vast amounts of food waste is hindering the climate in a big way. Obesity and climate change are main indicators that individuals need to monitor their food intakes. It is not only about weight anymore and does not just affect a single soul- but the entire planet in which we inhabit.
The big picture about this growing concern is that it is can involve a complete group of members of the food chain including farms, retailers, manufacturers, and consumers. If the waste can somehow be decreased, then the expense can be spared as well as the environment. This problem can be directed to the ability to conveniently have access to "cheap food." This means that individuals can spend less money on foods that contribute to obesity, rather than purchasing more expensive foods that are healthier.
If the food waste problem can be addressed, it can improve prices of food, global poverty and food shortage, and prevent the atmosphere, climate, and environment. Food waste accounts for too much fossil fuel and water usage, in addition the CO2 emissions and methane gas have an enormous negative affect on climate change.
