Are you insinuating that your app brings that 35% figure down to 0%? Like I said, most of the time I don't throw stuff away because I've forgotten about it, but more because I've overbought, made too much of a dish, or flat-out don't want any more of the food that I bought.

No, I'm saying that 35% of food is thrown away by people we've talked to. I don't think there is a clear-cut solution that will reduce that to 0%. But we're trying to provide ways to help people reduce their own % number, no matter how small or big it is.

Like I mentioned earlier, we're trying to help people recognize patterns and habits in spending so they can reduce overbuying and potentially see a way to save money.
