I mean, yeah, that sucks, but what can we do about it? Grow less food?

Distributing it more efficiently would help.

I work at a warehouse during summers for a business that sells food on Amazon.

A good half of the inventory went to trash on certain days for reasons ranging from "packaging slightly bruised" to "there is not even air conditioning here and we sell ice cream."

On that last note, I really want to ask people buying perishables from amazon during summer why they would such a thing.
