John Oliver; Another Useful Video

After my post on food waste, I thought it might be useful to share this video of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment on, you guessed it, food waste. It's a little long, but it's factual and funny. He covers the production of methane in landfills as well, which is useful. Though, as a former Domino's employee, I cannot personally condone his suggestion that their delicious pizza belongs in the bin.
Fair warning, it does contain some strong language.

    John Oliver making total sense in this video - Very informative. Its mindboggling to imagine how much food is wasted everyday despite food security issues being experienced by poor households. The implications to GHG emissions are also astonishing! Do you this think "Foodwaste is a 1st world problem" holds true?

      I definitely agree that there is a big difference between the kinds of food waste found in the 'first world' as opposed to the less developed world. In MEDCs, food and other resources are so readily available that we tend to think of them as infinite, and act as though there are no consequences to overbuying and throwing away the excess. It's a facet of our 'throwaway society' of which I am not a fan
