Meh.
All food gets eaten by something eventually 🤔
Not all food is created equal. A steak takes a lot more resources to get to your fridge than a tomato
Yep. It will will be eaten by disease spreading vermin and all of their very healthy and numerous babies. It won't be eaten by humans, many of whom are dying of hunger in the very countries that also waste the most.
Some of us like the things you call Vermin.
It's fine to like them but more of them means more sick and dead humans. It also means more vermin killed by terminators. We can like them without wanting them to infest human settlements. Wishing them on a city is cruel to both us and them.
Food waste actually did have environmental impact if you think about it. Food need place to grow, whether meat or plant, and if big percent of food goes to waste it mean a big amount of land cleared just to grow rubbish. Also, food thrown away are getting send to landfill, which mean the food decompose anaerobically thus create methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and landfill is a big source of methane.
