Americans Waste 40% of US Food Production

I was reading an article yesterday that gave some shocking and disturbing statistics about the American people.

It said that 40% off all the food grown by farmers ends up in the in the city dump! But people did not throw meat away. Just carbs, fruits, veggies, dairy.

Forty Percent!!

That is just a few clicks away from being HALF of all the food produced!

Something really has to change.

For starters:

• Only buy the amount of food you and your family can eat in a week
• Learn how to properly store food in the refrigerator to maximize loss
• Menu plan
• Fast more often (no food or drink from sunrise to sunset)
• write down each food item you put in the trash

Inshallah I’ll be writing more about each of the items I just mentioned.
