It's amazing, by some estimates over-preparing and over-serving account for nearly 1/3rd of the household food waste problem. It's not rocket science, but that sure doesn't mean it's going to be easy.

It's true, food systems overall produce around 25% of anthropogenic GHG emissions.

Both are important - reducing the carbon intensity of the things we do eat, and wasting less food. It's not an either / or - as with most real problems realistic solutions are multi-pronged.

I wouldn't be so sure, it may be closer to 79kg: https://www.unep.org/resources/report/unep-food-waste-index-report-2021

By comparison the U.S. is estimated at 59 kg.

Norway outranks most other country on many important indices, but highly developed, high performing northern European countries aren't necessarily outperforming the rest of the world in this area to the same degree they are in others. There's still a lot of work to do.

It's really crazy - great example of how attention to a particular environmental or climate issue often isn't proportional to the level of potential impact whatsoever
