American families waste a third of the food they purchase - Big Think

On average, American households dump the equivalent of $1,900 worth of food a year.

  • A recent study finds that the average American household wastes a third of its food.
  • All told, the U.S. food system squanders billions of pounds of consumable food every year, amounting to billions more in economic losses.
  • Improved meal management can help Americans save the money thrown out with their food.
