Food waste

I get really upset, when I read stories like this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/5218134.stm

"....The aid agency Oxfam says it has already seen families reduced to eating leaves from trees, just to get by...."

Having just recently read stories like this:

http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,1827316,00.html

"....7 million tonnes of food dumped in landfill sites in Britain every year. A quarter of the food buried in the ground is perfectly edible...."

Totally wrong.
