I once read a scientific theory about why animals sleep. It proposed that animals slept in order to cut down on the amount that they have to eat. If animals had to keep themselves going 24/7, they'd strip the ecosystem of its resources in no time. Man is an animal that eats entirely too much food. In the United States, 14% of our household foods go to waste. It's estimated that the average American wastes nearly $600 dollars a year on uneaten foods.
