Re: At last.....us next? (Food waste)
I completely agree with donating unused and unsold food. We waste so much food in this world by simply throwing it out. This could be a positive step in the right direction for conquering hunger.Here's a basic overview of what the article is about...
France has become the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away or destroying unsold food, forcing them instead to donate it to charities and food banks.
Under a law passed unanimously by the French senate, as of Wednesday large shops will no longer bin good quality food approaching its best-before date. Charities will be able to give out millions more free meals each year to people struggling to afford to eat.
