Every year in America we throw away 96 billion pounds of food. That's 3,000 pounds every second! As fresh Pacific salmon, American ground beef, New Zealand lamb chops, free-range whole chickens, pork loins, plump turkey breasts, trash bags of fruit and vegetables, and mountains of bread compete for space in swollen dumpsters, the world confronts a global food crisis, riots have broken out in more than 30 nations, and rising prices plunge 100 million more people into poverty and hunger. Filmmaker Jeremy Seifert literally dives into the unbelievable world of food waste as a casual dumpster diver whose sense of humor deepens into serious conviction about how our collective wastefulness says more than we would like it to about our society, our relationship with the earth...and the rest of humanity. The carloads of fine foods pulled from dumpsters every night raise the film's central questions: Why is all this food being thrown away and not given to people who need it? And further, What kind of society wastes this much food?The amount of wasted food is surpassed only by our indifference to it. The good news is that we can be shaken from our indifference and roused into actions, individually and communally, that can change how we live together, and the kind of earth we entrust to our children and grandchildren.
