I am sure the number will be just as high if not higher here in the USA I know people waste a lot of food over here too.

UK Food Wastage History & Civil Business Politics

I'm not sure this is accurate either, seeing that food bills have gone up by an average of £800/$1600 a year this year alone!
Fuel has risen by 20% in the last 3 months....I really believe that most people can't afford to throw food away as the cost of living is so high!

The funny thing is the same leaders decrying food waste are themselves gorging on an 8 course meal. What hypocrites

G8 leaders feast on 8 courses after discussing world food shortages

. .,
This is like those people that want us to save energy (Al Gore) and then they have houses (Al Gore) that use more energy then most people's houses use in an entire year. Oh yes, lets make the little people sacrifice while we sit in our 4 million dollar homes and eat 8 course meals and condemn others for their waste.

Ridiculous.

I have to agree with Dbackers. There is a lot of waste in this world and some of our leaders should be leading by example. If our leaders are wasting food or energy then why should the common man or woman have to save?
