Dana Frasz wants to see a Food Shift – away from waste

• Christian Science Monitor
 Dana Frasz is a food entrepreneur. She wants to recycle food, taking the food that’s not consumed and putting it into the hands of those who cannot afford it. She wants companies to stop wasting so much food – at the grocery story and in restaurants. She wants us all to be aware of how much we’re throwing in the dustbin.
 

Too idealistic? Frasz would argue otherwise. Hear her talk about her passion – FoodShift.

How much waste is there currently in the United States and how accurate are these figures?

Forty percent of all the food produced in the US is wasted.

This figure is from national experts on food waste – author Jonathan Bloom wrote “American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half its Food” and Dana Gunders has been researching this issue at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
