Food waste is thrown-away food, because it no longer looked good or because it couldn't no longer be sold.
In the "Duden" the word "waste" is described like this: "an act or instance of using or expending something carelessly, extravagantly, or to no purpose."
Nowadays we have to rethink our eating habits and the way we deal with our food. It shouldn't be careless.
