得知北美每年近一半的食物都被浪费掉后,电影制作人格兰特·鲍德温和珍妮·鲁斯特迈耶决定停止购买食品杂货,只食用那些原本会被丢弃的食物。他们将这段探索工业化食品体系浪费现象的旅程,以及他们靠翻垃圾桶寻找食物维持生命的经历,都记录在了他们的纪录片《吃掉它》(Just Eat It)中。
我们社会中种植的食物近50%都被浪费掉了。
影片中揭露的食物浪费统计数据令人震惊。再加上一些超现实的画面,比如鲍德温站在装满鹰嘴豆泥的垃圾箱里,水深及膝,你可能会不禁思考,自己的个人行为究竟对这种巨大的浪费现象产生了多大的影响。
想知道你是否也是造成食物浪费的一份子吗?鲍德温和鲁斯特迈耶设计了一个测试,可以帮助你了解自己浪费了多少食物,并为你提供减少浪费的方法。

The food waste issue is huge, and one way to reduce it is to buy your food from the growers directly, through farmer's markets, roadside farm stalls, and delivery through Community Supported Agriculture. Spray free or certified organic, and buy from your local cooperative food market for other items. The coop I belonged to in Portland allowed volunteers access to their out of date food kept in the coolers: for every 2 hours you worked, you could visit the produce or dairy cooler and take what you needed. Perfect.
I have dumpter dived and it's wonderful! In NYC that was how many of us survived living in an expensive city :) In DC many of the stores donate their leftovers to shelters and programs. Yay! A step in the right direction, grateful!
