John Oliver's take on food waste in this country is another must see.

(Watch for the awesome Donald Trump smackdown at the 5:00 mark.)

Okay well I am now appropriately chastised for not finishing my chicken Canadian bacon and pepperjack cheese omelet from earlier today.

I think if we are honest we probably all have to admit that we are guilty in some measure of doing this ourselves.

Years ago I knew a man who used to drive from grocery store to  grocery store, and bakery to bakery, gathering up all of the food they were about to discard and taking it to soup kitchens and homeless shelters.

He did this on his own time and never asked for any compensation.

When I asked him why he felt compelled to spend so many hours doing this, he told me "Because Jesse, I have gone to bed hungry listening to my children cry because they did not get enough to eat that day. And once you have been through something like that you not only never want to go through it again, but you never want anybody else to go through it either."

A very profound statement, from a very kind man.
