The Big Food Wasters (infographic)

USA and UK on the top of the black list.

The U.S.A. and the U.K. have to be numbered at the top among the so called "big food wasters" respectively with its 40% of all food before produced and then wasted the first and its 30,8% of all food purchased and then thrown away the second.

The Stars and Stripes food wasting stands for 1/4 of all freswater intake and the consumption of 300 billion barrel of oil every year while "the Queen's wasting" means e.g. 4,8 billion of grape or 440 million of sausages or, in the end, 2,6 billion of apples. Let's consider how the environmental impact will change if we stop wasting food!
