4/5

What saves this film from being another gimmicky Super Size Me or No Impact Man is Grant and Jennifer's modestly charming Canadian-ness. They present some pretty frightening statistics, but they also offer some helpful solutions

The filmmakers are so frustrated by the amount of food that North Americans waste that they determine to eat only thrown-out grub for six months.

Filmmakers are so fed up w/ food waste, that they dumpster dive an absurd amount of food they absolutely end up wasting. Some really good info in the documentary, and it's well shot. The hypocrisy of the filmmakers is incredibly frustrating though.

fantastic account of the food waste we could be living on! not half-eaten burgers, but perfectly good sealed/packaged food, also imperfect fruit and vegies that never make it to the store! 25% of what we buy we font even eat... let's fix this problem.

Enlightening film about the food that is wasted from in the farm to grocery stores to the home. It's a lot like Super size Me with out the hype. I enjoyed it.
