America’s food fight

40% of the food produced in the U.S. ends up in landfills, at a cost of $165 billion a year. Confusing food dating labels, oversized portions and blemishes are some reasons edible food is being tossed in the garbage.  Food recycling programs, waste monitoring apps and farm to fork programs are helping combat the problem. We’ll talk with innovators looking to change America’s eating habits at 7:30pmET.  

On tonight's episode of The Stream, we speak to:
