RE: ResQuing Food

in #food4 years ago

I think we might have the same kind of vegetable service in Helsinki. I’d definitely be ordering if we had the same here.

I really like that restaurants are starting to sell the buffet leftovers for cheap too. I know how it feels to work in a restaurant and throw food into a bin every single day. We’d obviously try to take what we can home but there is so much of it.

Sort:  

I think it's irresponsible to throw good food out as you say. I have a few friends that own cafes and they have arrangements with groups to take the food and distribute it to underprivileged. Seems so logical, and yet supermarkets do not...And consumers pay for the wastage.

I’m pretty sure it was actually illegal not too long ago to sell or even give out food that was about to expire soon. Grocery stores literally could not even feed the extra food to pigs!

Yep, same as here. It's dumb.
