Hunger is usually associated with developing countries , and not with places like Germany
However , even in a wealthy country like Germany , there are many who live in desperation
At the same time , the country wastes approximately 20% of all its foodstuffs
Bread that was baked the previous day , dairy products that are about to expire , and fruits and vegetables with small blemishes are normally taken off supermarket shelves and thrown away
This happened even though the food is in perfectly good condition for consumption
