Ill let everybody get to their seats. All right. Miss gunders, if you will begin when you are ready, maam. Ranking member peterson and members of the committee thank you for inviting me to testify today and be willing to explore this issue. Any name is dana gunders, im a Senior Science at the National Resources Defense Council and the author of a widely cited report on food waste and a book called the wastefree kitchen handbook which is a guide to not wasting food. Imagine walking out of the Grocery Stores with five bags in the parking lot and dropping two and not bothering to pick them up.

Not to have to file, or pay federal income tax. But one of the things ive not really heard anybody address, we talked about in here the need for the minimum wage to be raised.

But lets talk about that forecast and what happened with hermine. Weve been saying this for the last 24 hours, we saw hermine just not making that turn like previously suggested. We were talking a lot of models showing that hermine was going to make more of a sharp turn our direction. That did not happen. She slowed to 3mileperhour movement, which is very slow this morning. Take a look at this. Weve got those bands of heavy rain. Theyre about 75 miles outside of Atlantic City. That is not a very large distance that were looking at. Meaning that as proje
