Yes that sounds insane. That's 0.6 lbs food per day, which is the same as throwing away by weight every day (using McD's as an internationally recognizable reference):

- 1.5 McDonald's quarter-pounder sandwiches [1]

- or 2.5 portions of McDonald's medium fries [2]

That seems like a lot of food to waste. Like that just doesn't pass the smell test...

Maybe they're counting liquids like milk too, that's gone past the expiration date? Otherwise I just can't wrap my head around this.
