(V): 30 pc of all sold patatos in Great Britain end up as trash. The farmers and food producers throw away about one million tons of the bulb every year. In spite of a more and more massive fishing crisis, in between 40 and 60 pc of all fishes catched in european waters get moved off board, all dead. The value of the three most important dish fishes of the Brits thrown back to sea is about 80 million Euro. The 60 million Brits throw away 484 million yoghurts in their sealed package. The supermarket chains are real champions. Sainsbury = ca. 60'000 tons, Asda = ca. 75'000 tons of foodstuffs thrown away on landfills. The half of the fruits and vegetable grown for the supermarkets never reach the counter because of wrong size or not looking super fresh anymore.
For the food industry, the described above is market logic, the economical system means to produce much too much and to have short expiration dates. The whole system does not correspond to the real needs. What also shows this exemplarly is that food gets poisoned in refuse skips so that nobody can consume it anymore.
The law criminalises poor and destitutes if they take fresh food out of a dustbin.
The earth could nourish 12'000'000'000 humans yet 24'000 children die every day on starvation.
The daily mass murder serves the profit, every thrown away yoghurt is a optic manifestation of the capitalistic system gone trash, gals'n dudes.
Alone the food thrown away in Great Britain could nourish 113'000'000 humans.
