Ugly Food Shouldn't Go to Waste! Goal: 30,000 At least 26% of all produce in the United States is thrown away and therefore never eaten because it's "ugly." As a result, billions of pounds of edible food are wasted while, more than 38 million people, including 12 million children, in the United States are food insecure. Food that is thrown away simply because it does not meet a certain cosmetic standard is not only a waste of edible food. It's a waste of the resources, from water to fuel, it took to produce the food. Help us call on the top three grocery retailers in the United States to change their policies on fruit and vegetable cosmetics and stop wasting food. Sign the Petition!
