Did you know that in a recent article from CBC concluded that Canada wastes more than $31 billion worth of food? That is devastating to hear, especially when Vancouver is at a total count of 1,798 homeless people. A core issue is Canadians buying food with the intention of using it but in the end, they never do. Not only that but retailers throw away over 30% of fruits and vegetables before it makes it to the stores because of menial things like bruising etc.
