TLDR; climate change, Russia, supply chain not recovered, labor shortages; more price increases expected :/

Back when I worked in a grocery store one of my regular tasks was processing unsalable product. There is... a lot that gets thrown away. And from what I hear it is much worse in other parts of the world.

I used to work in cold storage distribution for Loblaws. There is even so much more thrown out before it gets to the store, we had a giant bin that would get emptied once our twice a week. Someone eventually organized something to donate discarded produce to the local shelters and the zoo I think so at least it wasn't going to waste, hopefully they are still doing that.
