:"The problem is much worse than we think. We have to wake up. I hope it's a wake-up call."the team was able to draw from additional data for the U.S. to calculate the amount of food wasted in 2005 and 2011, respectively

Van den Bos Verma added her team was surprised to find some small countries which usually get left out of this debate on account of there size—such as United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Bermuda and Cayman Islands—had waste levels per capita"almost as high" as the U.S.,"though total waste would be less on account of smaller population size."

"Even the lower-middle income countries, once they hit a certain level of affluence, their food waste starts to rise very rapidly. So we need to watch out for this transition and take preventative measures around their transition points," she said.
