I'm not convinced you read your own links.

1. Is a report on the need to evaluate how prevalent the practice of recycling food scraps from manufacturing as feed actually is, as apparently the FDA (or the author of the report anyway) doesn't have access to good data on the topic.

2. Is advice that appears to be targeted at large institutions that want to _start_ recycling... doesn't really say much about the prevalence except that it isn't a novel idea.

Plus, the original article says: > Individual households were responsible for more than half of that, with the rest coming from retailers and the food service industry.

limited information on safety, not limited information on whether the practice is being done.

No, the bottom of the page lists examples of businesses doing it on a large scale.

Moreover, the original comment claimed "We're not feeding wasted produce to livestock", which implies we weren't doing it at all, which the previous two links clearly disprove.
