We buy more food than we consume — our eyes
and our wallets are bigger than our stomachs. Do vagrants go to dumpsters in poor neighborhoods? What ever happened to garbage disposals under the sink?

The phrase “Waste not, want not” goes back to the 1930s. As does the voice of the mother telling her child who refuses to eat what is on his (my!) plate: ” The children in China are crying for it.”

Solving the food waste problem is doable if you put
a widow with 8 children to feed in charge the way,
Adriana, my mother, did.
