•     Tick, tick, tick.  We all need to eat, and farmers around the world are producing huge amounts of food.  Every second, over 500 hamburgers are eaten in just one of the world's major fast-food chains.  In fact, we make enough to feed everyone on the planet.  However, every second, 0.3 people around the world starve to death.  To make things worse, we waste a lot of the food we produce.  Just in Japan, 2,540 rice balls' worth of food is thrown away every second.
