Scott,
I think you've overthought this. 40% of food is flat wasted in this country. I used to haul conventional sweet corn from the field to a processor. We'd start picking a field, get half done, and leave the rest. There were always dumpsters full of already processed cans going out to be dumped whenever I went into the plant.
