Description

241 million tons of food is produced in the USA evry year and what is frightening is that more than one third of it goes to waste. This means that more than 150 million potential meals are being thrown into landfill while 44 million Americans live with limited access to food. What's puzzling is that it has taken this long for someone to find a solution to this problem. Meet Even, a college kid from Philadelphia...
