imagine if these people were capable of turning their righteous indignation toward their surroundings. obviously they have no principles until the war drums start beating but it consistently amazes me how oblivious they are to the world around them.
of course there are about 300 million holodomor references in the thread as well, take a peek if you want to see the :grillman: to :frothingfash: pipeline in action: https://reddit.com/comments/tsarwx
The FDA estimated that 133 billion pounds of food was wasted in 2010. I imagine the number is much higher in truth considering that includes retail waste and personal waste but not necessarily agriculture waste.
That is already over 1200 times more than this alleged incident. It's also as a fun fact almost the entire estimated mass of all terrestrial wild animals.
Just as a comparison point you know. The USA dumps atleast an amount of food comparable to all wild land animals into landfills every year because line must go up. If the act in the reddit thread is evil than the USA is inherently just in this one thing quantifiably more than 1000x worse.
Fuck I did a whataboutism

1.2 billion tonnes metric is wasted globally before it leaves the farm
that's 2,204,620,000,000 pounds or over 2 trillion pounds of food or 15% of all food. Once you take the retail waste and personal waste into acount 40% of food is wasted
you have earned your treads and are officially a tankie now
