Food waste is a huge problem in America. The EPA estimates that more food reaches incinerators and landfills than any other single material in our everyday trash, constituting a whopping 22 percent of discarded municipal waste. Along with that staggering statistic, the USDA reports that 11.1 percent of American households are food insecure. The restaurant industry is an unfortunate contributor to this issue.
