Why is “eat less meat” first but “stop wasting 1/3 of all food” second? I’d think we could find a path to do the second thing first while we make the generational change to the first thing over time.
It's a fair question, but stopping food waste is harder than it sounds. In rich countries it's mostly a behavioral challenge - we waste food at home and in restaurants - and behavioral change is a tricky cultural, political and technological problem. In poor countries it's often even more daunting - food gets wasted on farms or in supply chains because of inadequate infrastructure or distribution networks - and that's hard to fix, too. But yes, we need to do all of it!
Great piece--BUT: don't assume everyone who reads you has an Apple device. Find a way to support the technologist who don't subscribe to the Jobsian view that Apple knows better than the consumer about the experience they want.

Uh oh I'm such a techno-idiot I didn't even realize I was being Apple-centric...but thanks!
