    50% of all food produced is dumped
    This documentary starts with two dumpster divers in Vienna who retrieve food from a supermarket's dustbin. Later on there are interviews with an organic farmer, supermarket employees, a baker etc to show how much food is thrown away worldwide.

    This is partly due to EU guidelines (apples must have a minimum size; potatoes must not be too big or too small), partly due to customers' tastes (who still buys one-day-old bread?).

    It is quite sickening to see how food that is still good for consumption is thrown away and to see the reasons for it. Let's hope this film is watched by many people who start questioning their own habits - do you only buy flawless fruit? Do you buy more food than you can eat? Do you still drink milk that is beyond its "best before" date?
