When i read this article in rediff , i was shocked and wondering where are we going.I was bit happy that India was not there at the top 10. This list is based on OECD Environmental Compendium
Food Wastage list
Almost all of the above countries are developed countries and in all the major issues including food supply shortage they blame developing or poor countries.As im typing this ,im reading today's Straits Times in which there is a headline "UN warns of food shortages in parts of S-E Asia" ,even though this UN report does not show any relation with the above table, one must be vigilant in what he/she eats.As our elders used to say never throw the food and you will find it hard to get it latter, thats true as prices of food items goes up.
In contrast to the above table , check out this documentary.
What a contradiction...!!
