Nom-Noms

Welcome to our website, our mission here is to help you track your food expiration dates, but as well as help find other ways to prevent food waste. Food waste is a big problem in the United States especially in wealthier areas due to the fact that some families buy more food then is necessary. " According to a Guardian report released this week, roughly 50 percent of all produce in the United States is thrown away—some 60 million tons (or $160 billion) worth of produce annually, an amount constituting 'one third of all foodstuffs.' " Food in America is cheaper than most countries encouraging people to buy more. Americans also waste food by refusing to imperfect fruit. "Fruits and vegetables, in addition to generally being healthful, have a tendency to bruise, brown, wilt, oxidize, ding, or discolor and that is apparently something American shoppers will not abide. For an American family of four, the average value of discarded produce is nearly $1,600 annually."(The Atlantic) Our goal was to combat that by helping people become conscious of what they have in their fridge and what they are throwing away.
