I Love America

America is known as the “land of opportunities” where someone could attain a job to afford housing, food, warmth, and so on for their families and themselves. The fact that Americans are able to afford to supply themselves beyond the essentials puts us in a position that can be disputed: should we supply for others who cannot attain basic elements for survival?

America is great. America is strong. America is the best country in the world. We have very nice freedoms. We have lots of right that other countries don’t have, and we have good laws. I believe in a strong America that has good freedoms, laws, and rights.

I believe that the United States of America is the greatest country in the world. The foundations of this country were set by our founding fathers over 200 years ago, and they still remain strong today. Ever since I first became a teenager and got more involved and more interested about the history of our country and the problems we have faced, my belief has grown stronger. Even though this country has been through multiple problems over the past 300 years, I still believe that we are the greatest country in the world.

The article “Waste Not” by Elizabeth Royte was published in March of 2016 in National Geographic Magazine. It depicts the wastefulness of the food industry and shows the path of food from field to consumers’ homes. During the article the story focuses on Tristram Stuart; a food utilizing activist and naturalist, who is gathering wasted food for a food conservation event for the public. Stuart visits many different farms and markets to receive food that is not desirable. Throughout the world nearly one third of food that is grown is thrown away or wasted due to consumer needs and wants. This means that because there is a need and want for good quality food products that not only meet food eatable standards but also

The USDA claims that each year, 25.9 million tons of America’s food is thrown away, the equivalent to a quarter of the total amount produced. Nationally, the wasted food is a damaging financial setback, amounting to $1 billion just to get rid of during a time of ascending food prices, nonetheless (Oliver, 2007). Food waste has skyrocketed since 1970 at an astonishing 50% increase rate, yet according to the FAO, one-sixth of America doesn’t get enough to eat.

About fifty million Americans are not certain when their next meal will be and in a society filled with food insecurities, the fact there this so much food waste is perplexing (King, 2015). Around the world, about two billion tons of food is wasted through production, transportation, distribution and retail, and post consumer (Glickman 2013). This amount of food

While everyone may love to go out and enjoy a fine meal with friends and family, most will never stop to think the process of how the food came about, or the production thereof. John Oliver’s piece on “Food Waste” outlines all the problems of food waste and how they can impact society, animals, nature, and even the farmers who harvest the produce. America and its businesses should try to decrease the amount of food being wasted. By doing so, not only are we a contributing factor to help reduce waste, save time and money, but we are also aiding the less-fortunate in a society, while still saving natural resources and the planet as a whole.

Food waste is an environmental, economic, and ethical problem that can lead to less calorie intake and unnecessary damage of our assets. Individual behavior can redesign food waste at home and lead to bigger changes in the ecosystem. The problem is Americans throw out more food than glass, paper, and plastic. Also about 25% of food grown, processed, and transported in the US will never be consumed. When food is disposed in a landfill it rots and becomes a significant source of methane— a potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.

The New York Times article also opens reader’s minds up to how unhealthy food waste can take a

Chris Ebert Ms. Gladfelter ENG 1030 10 October 2015 Factual Argument Essay In modern society, people often base their judgment by what they are told their entire life. But what if, what you were being told was not actually the truth. In America, “The Greatest Country on Earth,” people are very naive in there way of thinking. If you took 80% of the American people and sat them down and asked, “Do you believe America is the greatest country on earth?" Majority of the answers would be “yes,” and if you were to argue otherwise most would not be able to back up their belief with factual evidence.

What I really like about America is Freedom I always wanted a freedom in my life because in My country not everything is really free like girls can’t work and not all girls go to school. If we say specific womans doesn't have a lot of freedoms. When I was living in afghanistan and going to school girl’s couldn't come without cover our body and hair I couldn’t go outside to play or see my friends.

A profoundly controversial, and not relatively new argument that the food waste in food production system is morally correct or wrong. In truth, it is wrong to blame consumers for purchasing an excessive amount of packed away plate of mixed greens or discarding food product if the mark bearer an impossible best-before date, or if customers aren't instructed how to cook and if the whole sustenance part burns through several millions on publicizing. The after effect of this is nourishment squander. According to ethical consequentialist framework, a person should take care of the future consequences so it is better to throw food which is leftover or the food which is going to expire soon as the most precious factor of life is health. The body

Thinking about it, I realize that every day I throw something away that could be saved and eaten later. When I take the trash out there are a number of food items that don’t need to be there. After we finish dinner I am wiping food off of plates and realizing that I’ve made too much. Every time I clean out the fridge there is food going into the garbage because I waited too long to use it. Whatever the reason, I realize that it does affect me in many ways and it’s constantly happening in my home.

Canada is a developed nation with most of its citizens living in food security. Most Canadians are able to live in security knowing that they have access and availability to food, others still struggle to get food onto their table. 850, 000 Canadians access a food bank every month when $31 billion dollars worth of food ends up in the landfills (CBC). One of the most valued resources to humans is being wasted instead of consumed. This research essay asks the question: why do Canadians waste their food? This essay will argue that it is people’s behaviour that causes food waste. It will look through two dimensions of food waste from consumer’s behaviour to manufacturing. It is clear to mention that it is not people’s intention to waste but because of their behaviours, food waste is still a major issue that goes on in Canadian society. Globally, one-third (1.3 billion tons), of food produced for human consumption is wasted along the food chain annually (George 3). Canadians waste about 183 kilograms of solid food per person. The solution to food waste is to stop wasting but we must look further about why do Canadians waste. The response to this question would be that Canadians need to reshape their relationship with food and modify their behaviour.

In America, we are constantly surrounded by abundance. Food is a prevalent waste item in the United States. Most people do not think about the resources it took to produce, transport, and prepare the food they throw away. Our food waste is not actually just trash; it is the key to human survival. Ordinary consumers can change the future with one small action: to stop wasting food. Actions at the individual level can decrease food waste and feed those in need. Twenty five percent of purchased food is thrown away. (TED) Often this is because food has spoiled, but it can be for other reasons such as oversupply, misread labels, or individual consumer shopping and eating habits. http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3347e/i3347e.pdf
