It's not like i'm using a side of beef, or a bushel of apples, it is chicken feed, low quality grains. It is not being wasted. It is being used, and it is all natural, and healthier for me and my cats. It has a multi purpose, feed and litter. If everyone would use it, then we wouldn't have a need to waste resources on toxic chemical laden litters that are unhealthy for us and our amimals. I think it is wasteful to spend a fortune on litters like WBCL. Now that is a crime, to spend all that money for a cat to poop in. Way to self indulgent for me and my pocketbook.It is a sin, I think, to waste food in cat litter when there are perfectly acceptable solutions (corn cobs, wheat husks, or pine shavings) available
