I looked out of curiosity and apparently 30% of food produced is wasted, biggest wasters are:
1 United States of America
2 Australia
3 Denmark
4 Canada
5 Norway
6 Germany
7 United Kingdom
8 New Zealand
9 Malaysia
10 Singapore
(I wont try to shame anyone because CanadaLand is #4 and that would be pot-kettle-black)
Also I found of interest in food production, waste, consumption is the top 10 most obese countries (July 1st, 2017)
United States of America – 109,342,839
China – 97,256,700
India – 65,619,826
Brazil – 41,857,656
Mexico – 36,294,881
Russia – 34,701,531
Egypt – 28,192,861
Turkey – 23,819,781
Iran – 21,183,488
Nigeria – 20,997,494
