Good evening BESTers,

    This article is a good synopsis of some of the ethical issues 
of wasting food.  Overproduction and overconsumption in the 
developed world, once thought a sign of prosperity, are now 
creating huge environmental and social problems across the globe.  
There are signs that a paradigm shift is coming as we begin 
addressing our waste problems, but to be truly sustainable we must 
abandon the traditional consumption mentality, and start living 
cradle to cradle. An integral part of this will be capturing 
energy and nutrients from our food waste, or rather our 
post-consumer organic resources.
