45,000 Pounds of Wasted Food



A semi truck carrying 45,000 pounds of candy, ice cream and deli meats tipped over on Highway 18 yesterday when the driver took a turn too quickly. The truck split open and spilled its load, which needed to be hauled away in wheelbarrows before the truck could be turned upright. Most of the food will be thrown away-yet another argument against the industrial food system, where 45,000 of food can go to waste because of a single driver's error.
