The article here also appears to significantly contradict itself.

The headline says "Food Got Wasted — Mostly at Home" but the article seems to say that this applies to "food available to consumers", i.e. it is only really measuring the quantity of waste as household vs catering/restaurants.

Since more food must surely be eaten at home than elsewhere, it's not surprising that food waste is produced at home is first out of two options.

The article later admits that a higher quantity of food is 'wasted' before it reaches stores.

I definitely waste more at home than a commercial kitchen because of economies of scale, and that overbuying by 25% is something I can afford pretty easily, but commercial kitchens can't. That said, commercial kitchens also overfeed.
