<p><strong><b><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I've
heard that Americans waste 40 percent of their food. Could that possibly be
true? That's five eggs from every dozen!</span></font></b></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Determining
how much food we waste every day can be tricky, but the calculation matters a
great deal. Squandered calories mean that whatever resources went into
producing and shipping a foodstuff—like freshwater and fossil
fuels—are wasted, and edible matter that's left to rot in landfills tends
to generate <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2178595/" target="_blank">methane</a>,
a powerful greenhouse gas. So we really ought to know what percentage of our
food output gets dumped down the trash. The problem is, there just hasn't been
much research into this question. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
