Wasteful Thinking: the hidden world of food waste in Quebec

With the world's population projected to hit seven billion later this
year, a stable supply of food has never been more important.

Recent spikes in food prices have set off riots around the world and
have been linked to revolutions in the Middle East and the famine devastating the horn of Africa.

Even here at home, rising food prices are making people think more
about what they eat and where it comes from.

But what people may not realize is just how much of the food we
produce is going to waste.

The documentary, Wasteful Thinking, takes a close look at the food
system in Quebec from the grocery store to the phenomenon of dumpster
diving and the growing demand at Quebec's food banks.

Co-produced by Judith Jacques and Tomas Urbina.

I wish there was less waste. I try VERY hard to create no waste from my kitchen. May all have a blessed 2012.
