"Dive" sounds like a film I want to see.
Film creator Jeremy Seifert tells us that "Every year in the United States, we throw away 96 billion pounds of food. That’s 263 million pounds a day, 11 million pounds an hour, 3,000 pounds per second!"
Jeremy should know. He regularly feeds his family by diving into the trash heaps behind supermarkets and surfacing with perfectly edible, healthy, and unexpired food. (I hope he finds soap and clothes detergent there as well.)
In a world where millions go hungry and thousands die each day from malnutrition, to throw this food away is both a waste and a tragedy. I would bet that just miles, or even blocks, away, families are eating a diet of potato chips, pastries and sodas when they could have spinach, eggs, cheese and vegetables.
The film is being released July 19 on iTunes and Netflix. Check it out
