the vast quantities of fuel, agricultural chemicals, water, land, and labor needed to produce it. Let’s bring the example of a typical lunch. A loaf of bread requires about 240 gallons of water, and a pound of cheese takes about 382 gallons. So, a simple cheese sandwich takes about 56 gallons of water. Throw in a small bag of potato chips at 12 gallons and you just ate about 68 gallons of water Produced but uneaten food occupies almost 1.4 billion hectares of land; representing nearly 30 percent of the world’s agricultural land area. (The Scientific American) All this water is wasted. Obviously, wasting all these resources isn’t profitable for the country’s
