Food waste is a definite and huge problem in America. It feels as though Americans spend more time throwing away food than exercising! We sit here behind a mountain of food and fail to realize the harsh life that thousands of people across the ocean have to face. Why should we be ok with throwing away tons and tons of food that can be used to sustain and support life elsewhere? Why should garbage men drive around the country and pick up ones unwanted food that could be used for a greater purpose? Commodities such as garbage men, landfills, trash cans, dumpsters, etc are things that many Guatemalans for example, have never heard of. Here is to the old saying; "Ones man's trash, is another man's treasure." That is why the "waste not, want not" proposal will be effective immediately. No longer will a person be able to walk outside to their trash can and toss away a bag full of food; there will be no trash cans! Garbage men will no longer be in existence, landfills will disappear and dumpsters will vanish. Where does the country turn to now? I am sure that the country will not want to see piles and piles of garbage stacked in neighborhoods across the nation. The average person will not want to turn their swimming pool into a personal dumpster. Americans will now have two options; buy only what they need from the supermarket to rid themselves of wasted food entirely or take what is not consumed and give it to those who are hungry. No longer will an individual work for extremely low wages to produce food that winds up in the dumpster. No longer will that same person go home hungry because this new proposal will begin to rid the country and eventually the world of hunger.
