10/30/14 - Thursday's Topical Currents looks at the worldwide epidemic of food waste. The US is world leader in this dubious category. We speak with National Geographic journalist Elizabeth Royte, who’s recently written about the topic: One-Third of Food Is Lost or Wasted: What Can Be Done. Through the various stops along the food chain, about one-third of consumable food goes by the wayside. That’s enough sustenance to feed three- billion people. Don’t miss Topical Currents Thursday at 1pm on WLRN.
