While SNAP battle leaves Americans fearing hunger, near $400 billion in food wasted every year
Update: 2025-11-02
Description
Millions of Americans face food insecurity due to potential SNAP benefit delays, while the U.S. grapples with a staggering food waste problem. ReFED reports that over three hundred and eighty billion dollars of surplus food was produced last year, with forty percent ending up in the trash. Meanwhile, companies like Too Good to Go offer solutions by connecting surplus food with those in need. Despite tight grocery budgets, lower-income households are already careful with food, making them less likely to waste. The fight against food waste is attracting major investor interest, with start-ups and local companies providing innovative solutions. However, the ultimate goal remains to waste less from the start.
