I'm going to put my questions to Ms. Wirsig, and I really wish I had time for everybody.
I want to try to drill down on what's been raised about food waste and how we'd have more food waste if we didn't have single-use plastics and food contamination affecting our health.
I quickly looked it up. North America, with lots of access to plastics for food, wastes between 95 and 115 kilograms of food per capita, whereas places that don't use plastic, sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, waste far less food, six to 11 kilograms a year.
From your point of view, Ms. Wirsig, is there a plausible case that we need plastics to avoid food waste?
