"Fresh in the garbage" The global food waste - a film by Valentin Thurn. (Taste the waste)
First broadcast on German TV: ARD 20th October 2010 - I don't own this video.
The international version is titled "Taste the Waste" (55 minutes)
More than half of our food ends up in the garbage! Most already on the way from the farm to the store before it even reaches our dinner table: every second lettuce, every second potato and every fifth bread.
Some countries produce abundance and throw it away, others can not afford the prices on the world market and the people suffer from hunger.
Young activists protest against this situation by rescuing the wasted food. People eating rubbish - a habit that sounds disgusting until you see the loads of perfectly edible food in the bins of your supermarket or sandwich shop around the corner. They often receive help from the employees of the shops because, just as most people do, they feel bad about dumping food. There appears to be something instinctive in human beings that tells us so.
