Thanks for an articulate analysis of what I had suspected to be true. Especially given my consideration of an EV. And What about feeding waste to chickens or composting? Does that help?
Feeding food waste to animals or composting it is better than landfill, since when it's in a landfill it creates methane which is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. Some food waste is unavoidable too, because not all parts of "food" is edible, for example banana skins, so it's definitely better to compost that or give to animals. But in general it's better if we eat human food rather than feed it to animals.
