Wasting food

Americans need to learn how to eat all there food on their plate. In a recent study people waste approximately forty percent of their food. This has increased over fifty percent since the 1970s. If we waste twenty-five percent of our food we could feed twenty million people according to sixwise.com. This really upsets me because I think if you grab that item and put it on your plate then you should have to eat it since it was your decision to grab it.
