What may be considered not acceptable visually as far as fruits and vegetables are concerned can be made into frozen fruits and vegetable. Once they are cleaned and cut up, if they taste good, what they looked like prior makes no difference. Soups can be made from a lot of the vegetables, etc. To just let it sit and rot is a sin. In addition, there are a lot of poor in the world who would love to get this food. There must be a way to make things better for everyone.
Wasting food, clothes, energy or whatever is my pet peeve. It actually offends me to see people especially in M'urica waste all these resources while others cannot even find drinking water. Your toilet tank water is cleaner than the water they drink in some African nations. Let that sink in for a minute. When ya take certain things for granted and start squandering them, then don't complain when they are taken away from ya.
Excellent segment on food waste, which accounts for nearly half of the food we produce in the U.S. And keep in mind, wasted food = wasted energy and water too.
As an individual you can help out by eating everything on your plate. Every little bit helps.
I love this man soo much

For the love of God, SOMEONE PLEASE make an animated GIF of John Oliver doing his raccoon impression!
Is this show ever going to talk about overpopulation?

I eat exclusively from Walmart Dumpsters. I eat like a vegatarian king.
The U.S. wastes so much food. They should be giving it to people who need it most. There are so many people starving in the world.
amazing :DDDDDDDD
It's the stores not the people Walmart throws away perfect food just because there stock is full
As a Canadian I was shocked to find out how many different types of captain crunch there are…We only have one.
In eastern cultures food waste is very wrong.

His jokes are great.
John Oliver isn't my cup of smug, British tea. But the information here is solid and scary. Waste is wasteful.
This is the first time I've seen John Oliver, and he's speaking about a critical issue that's getting a lot of attention recently: food waste.

If you look at the average American that is overweight, you wouldn't guess that there is much food being left over for waste. . weird.
