☆ You're probably throwing out perfectly good food because 'sell by' and 'best before' dates mean nothing. Retailers like Amazon are backing a bill that could change that.

Retailers like Amazon support a bill that would require two labels: "best if used by" and "use by." Related storiesClearing up the confusion can avoid food waste, save people money, and help tackle the climate crisis. Reducing food waste is a way for companies to make progress on their sustainability goals, Melgar added. These advocates said the main question from Republican lawmakers is whether the food industry supports the bill. "Voluntary initiatives were a great first start in socializing this idea of consumer confusion over date labels," she said.

☆ If a single farm produced all the food wasted in the US, it would be the size of California and New York combined. We're the culprits.

The land used to produce food that's wasted in the US totals the size of California and New York. If all that food came from a single farm, it would be about the size of California and New York combined. Some states don't allow food to be donated after the quality date has passed — another source of unnecessary food waste, advocates say. Thinking about food waste at every mealMelgar is focused on policy goals like setting standards around food-date labels because changing consumer habits can be tough. "I'm thinking about food waste every time I have a meal, every time I go grocery shopping," Melgar said.
