is it a travesty when i toss most of the food from my garden because I can't eat 20 lbs of tomatoes in two weeks when they all come in?

there are many logistical factors you are not aware of that come into food waste. you just see the images of it and get outraged, without understand the context that often makes it necessary to do these things.

you can't just magically get tons of produce into the hands of hungry people without massive costs and distribution problems and legal liabilities. nothing in life is free and easy, especially growing and distributing massive quantities of food.

maybe you think it's a moral failing, but logistical limits exist and your ignorance of them doesn't mean farmers and such are morally depraved for not want to pay the costs of distributing their products when they are already taking losses.
