    I read a paper a few years ago that basically said that food insecurity is not a problem with production, but is instead a problem with distribution. The USA throws away enough food to feed another good sized country. I don’t know the exact nature of the distribution problem and whether it’s a problem of resources or something else, like s political problem.

      Many grocery stores give expired food to charity. You will often see a Walmart truck making deliveries to the Homeless shelter

        This is a great thing. I didnt know that Walmart was doing it, I have only heard of local grocers in Europe doing this.
