Plant-Based Diets Radically Reduce Food Waste - Center for Nutrition Studies
Food waste is a global concern. If we could tackle food waste reduction, might the profligacy inherent to our food production systems be less consequential?
You are absolutely right: food waste is a huge issue and we should make it a priority! But thankfully we can walk and chew gum at the same time! And one way of reducing food waste throughout the system is shifting to a plant-based diet.

...because throwing away meat, eggs, dairy is a double waste: it is not only throwing away those calories but also all of the grain and feed that the animal ate to make those products.
Throwing out 100 kcal of steak is also throwing out 2500 kcal of soymeal and grains (that could be eaten by us!)

But it does matter, though! Because (as you hint at) most food waste occurs before the food is in the table. It is the crops that are left in the field because it is unprofitable to harvest them, or due to improper storage or transport. But most of all, it comes from animal products...

There are 8 billion humans in the world.
We kill 80 BILLION land animals every year for the animal product industry. We clear entire forests to grow crops, that we feed animals, to then use them as food.
And yet, every year about 1 billion people live in the brink of starvation. Math isn't mathing!

Posted Apr 2, 2021, blast from the past comm for @haradoshin.bsky.social
Belfast was a winner in his racing days. The fame, prize money. He was set for life... So much so that his body grew... and grew... and grew... But he is no quitter. He can still wear his straps like the good ol' days... right?

First round of service is out, and these two passengers are already packing on the pounds thanks to @laranotcroft.bsky.social and @luxyhusky17.bsky.social! Something tells me that there is more food back there too...

chubby donkey fursona in undies, kneeling, with his arms behind his back, is blushing while a ghost hand feeds him an ice cream cone which is melting and dribbling down his fat belly
I love ice cream 😳

Today's my birthday, I usually don't post anything about it, I'm not used to at least, I don't consider it a special date or anything.
Anyways, wheat! :D
I've been addicted to Hypixel Skyblock as of lately and ong, collecting wheat makes MILLIONS, I already got like 300m from wheat alone

I wanted to draw Chester Cheetos because I've been a bit stressed lately and going through a major artistic block.
I love Chester, and I love Cheetos, so maybe eating more Cheetos isn't such bad advice after all

Direct quote:
"All art is political.
Because politics are based on our survival.
Life is political.
Science is political.
Policy should be emotional and making art is how tides are turned.
Every piece of art is someone's soul speaking.
Also, AI art: FUCK OFF!"
