Most people are unaware of this, but according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, food waste is estimated to be between 30 and 40 percent of the overall food supply in America. While that’s a lot of food to waste, it is also a lot of money literally thrown right into the garbage.

However, as mentioned before, in the Amish community, that statistic is much lower. And it has to do with the fact that Amish parents have little, if not zero tolerance, for picky eaters. Furthermore, ever since they are babies, Amish children are taught to eat whatever they put on the table.
