45% of Americans aware of excessive food waste in the USA

Food waste is rampant in the USA.  Around 40% of our food is thrown away or wasted.  Almost half of us are now aware that we’re wasting this much food which is both good news and bad news.  We’re aware but unaware of what to do.  Here’s a story from the Christian Science Monitor on this problem – http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/The-Bite/2015/0612/Nearly-half-of-Americans-know-about-US-s-food-waste-problem-survey-says

SunRidge Farms has been at the forefront of this awareness for over 30 years.  We heavily emphasize bulk foods as they reduce packaging waste, allow for purchase of only what you need and will consume, and saves money since you’re not wasting as much.  Even our plastic bags used for bulk purchases are not only recyclable but biodegradable.  Our packaged products are resealable helping to maintain freshness and are recyclable.  Let’s work together to reduce food waste.
