> Everyday millions of people pay more for a cup of coffee at starbucks than the price of several loafs of bread.

Guilty as charged. I have my daily Caramel Macchiotta Grande.



> We waste ridiculous amounts of food.

On THAT I agree with you. It's always been a pet peeve of mine. I was raised on the idea, "Buy what you want, but eat what you buy". I've had arguments with other people when I see them buying way more food than they possibly can consume, and then toss a considerable % of it. No one can consistently eat 100% of what they buy, but it's pathetic to see them do that.

I see people do that with clothes and other items as well. I buy lots of stuff, but I use what I buy.
