Making a point about food waste

12 Jan, 2012

In a past arti­cle on Organic Connections, we cov­ered food activist, Jonathan Bloom, and his book American Wasteland. The arti­cle and book talk about how America wastes a huge per­cent­age of its food for a vari­ety of reasons.

Daniel Klein is a chef, activist, and film­maker liv­ing in Minneapolis. Daniel has been doc­u­ment­ing his culi­nary, agri­cul­tural and hunt­ing adven­tures on film in a series called The Perennial Plate, fea­tur­ing long win­ters, urban gar­dens, ice fish­ing, slaugh­ter­houses, for­ag­ing for wild edi­bles, and more.

In this video from The Perennial Plate, Daniel makes a point about food waste in our sys­tem by find­ing a vol­ume of free food free thrown away for cos­metic, tech­ni­cal or pack­ag­ing rea­sons that have noth­ing to do with its fresh­ness or health­ful­ness. Follow Daniel on twit­ter @perennialplate.
