a very wise statement,
but of course NOT just for 'americans'!
but one must never 'lump' ALL of any 'peoples' together, sounding like they're all clones of one another -
and have no individuality that their Heavenly Father has given, just for them alone,.. not nice, we're all
related, 'one-way-or-another'!...

..Yes, Bill,
so many of us have been witness to not only the 'waste', of the new-non-perishable, but the 'waste' of
human existence through 'indifference/self'...how many remember this 'mile-stone' in their lives?
if one did notice, then it could only come from Jesus giving us our memory of this, and prayfully,
He will graciously 'drag one out' from serving the world, to serving our Saviour...
if we 'toss our brother and sisters aside, they can't be recycled', or can they be?...

True... And I'm aware. But it's totally possible to find smaller operations that don't do that. 99% of the beef I eat we've raised. Not from modified crud either. It's difficult to find and pricey but it exists. But reality is most foods are in some minor way modified by our current technologies..... I just think minimizing the man made crud in them is best.

There is a scheme over here, where super markets give unsold food to charities.
This mentions a couple but others do the same.
Tesco to give all unsold food to charity after finalising deal | The Independent
Plus I don't know if you noticed but the article refers to wonky veg.
It use to get thrown out, now it's sold as wonky veg cheaper than the
rest.
I get wonky veg from my supermarket its cheaper and just as good.

Organic means something different over here. Have a look at this.
https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/organic
The Department for Agriculture and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) states that:
‘Organic food is the product of a farming system which avoids the use of
man-made fertilisers, pesticides; growth regulators and livestock feed
additives. Irradiation and the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
or products produced from or by GMOs are generally prohibited by organic
legislation.
Organic agriculture is a systems approach to production that is working towards
environmentally, socially and economically sustainable production. Instead, the
agricultural systems rely on crop rotation, animal and plant manures, some
hand weeding and biological pest control’.
Organic agriculture is about a way of farming that pays close attention to nature.
It means fewer chemicals on the land such as artificial fertilisers, which can pollute
waterways. It means more wildlife and biodiversity, the absence of veterinary
medicines such as antibiotics in rearing livestock and the avoidance of genetic
modification. Organic farming can also offer benefits for animal welfare,
as animals are required to be kept in more natural, free conditions.

My initial reply was flippant, and I hope people understand I was joking in my own particular, sick fashion.
...even though I DO eat SPAM and such. Hey, get off my back about it!
Would I eat lab-grown meat? NO. No I would not. Although I am not any shining example of how to eat properly, I do much better than most people I know, and that is clearly evidenced every time I go grocery shopping. My cart is filled with basic ingredients and I prepare meals from scratch at home, while most others I see are piling mounds of frozen dinners and packaged/processed foods into their carts. I try to adhere to the axiom of "If I can't pronounce it, then it has no business going into my body", and I use that when I check the ingredient list on a product. If it sounds chemical, it is, and it's not good eats. Now, I don't have a lot of credibility saying these things, since I look on the scale and must peer OVER the crest of my pot belly to see the number on the scale and do the math in my head to see I am still about 70 pounds overweight, but my biggest issue is not WHAT I eat so much as it is HOW MUCH I eat, and HOW LITTLE exercise I get or get access to with my living situation. So yes, a fat little bugger like me is pontificating about eating right. Deal with it.
