I wonder if Elizabeth Kolbert and Stephen Kolbert are related? Rereading the article from June 30, "Seeds of Doubt" by EK, which says "A report [by the United Nations] estimates that, globally, about 40 percent of fruits and vegetables, 30 percent of cereal grains, and 20 percent of meat and dairy products wind up uneaten."

"[In] the U.S., more than 200 pounds of food per person get thrown away each year."
