HBO's 'Last Week Tonight' spent an entire episode looking at the issue of food waste, ridiculing it but also focusing on the need for strong legislation that promotes food donation. In it, host John Oliver says that, "At a time when the landscape of California is shriveling up like a pumpkin in front of a house with a lazy dad, it seems especially unwise that farmers are pumping water into food that ends up being used as a garnish for landfills."
