TEDTalk on food waste.

     This video gives a great presentation of all the waste that is associated with how we grow and supply food for our civilization:

Summary: Wealthy nations produce a lot of extra food that doesn't get eaten. (for reasons like "it looks weird" or "it has a bruise on it")

The presenter also highlights how this unsightly food could be fed to pigs, and at least be turned into pork products.
