How much food do you think Americans throw away each year? In weight, that is. How much would you guess you do?

Today on WBUR’s Here and Now, host Robin Young speaks with Jeremy Seifert, a filmmaker who became interested in the issue of food waste when he began dumpster diving, eating and feeding his family with the food he found.

He talks about his new documentary, “DIVE: Living Off America’s Food Waste.” (Catch the trailer at Here and Now’s site.)
