Yes, I have many issues with people, whom waste food! I rarely discard food. I either take excess to the local (homeless) shelter, or I give it to my (large) cat, or the neighbour's dog.
Even though I love to cook, I truly hate watching the FoodNetwork, because I know they waste so much food! They say they have a passion for cooking and a love for food yet seeing them scrape edible food in to the trash receptacle is insulting!
I simply love and admire how Chinese (cooks) insist in little-to-no waste!
Although food is viewed as a product by some, the produce is a necessary one. More necessary as each day passes and our the earth's population continues to get larger, or go up. Most N.Americans do not realize that there is a shortage of food, especially now that many farmers are being convinced to produce vegetation which will only be used to create fuel (for vehicles, not humans).
As for expired food not being good; it is still useful (compost) in increasing the yield of the next crop! However, the idea of wrapping it in a plastic garbage bag and throwing it in a pit, or covering it with earth, is even more of an insult!
