French law forbids food waste by supermarkets

[Phoenall]

I worked for a catering company many years ago that would take extra food to a rehab center in the city. Eventually the center refused to accept anything not in it's original packaging. Fear of lawsuits. It's a shame, the residents never ate better than when we showed up.

All down to accountability in law, so they cover themselves in a Teflon coating so they cant be prosecuted

There was a tv doc about this last year. Apparently the Colonel is the most wasteful of the fast food chains.
It is a sin to throw away food when there are so many going hungry.

And it is a bigger sin to give away food that could be contaminated and poison someone. The stupidity of neo Marxists is well known when it comes to looking after the people, and giving away old food is just one of their stupid tricks. So many go hungry because they are being paid to buy drugs and drink by the looney left, instead of being told they will get nothing until they are clean. If this means setting up special live in clinics then so be it, the savings from welfare would offset the costs involved ( at present they get around £ 600 per month disability, £600 housing and then JSA at £200. This is £1400 a month which is more than most people working get ) Maybe a tax on waste from food outlets is the way to go, or bring back pig swill bins to offset costs.

I can get paid to do drugs and drink booze? Where does that happen?

Apparently its going on all the tie in the space that his brain should be occupying.

Unable to prove me wrong so you resort to the red book of disinformation. Edited and published in the NKVD offices and handed out to all the brainwasjed fools

In the USA, WalMart will arrest you for digging in their trash.....

Asda's £3.50 Wonky Veg Box Lets You 'Feed Your Family For A Week'
In the UK they are selling off odd shaped veg. This is in response to a BBC prog which highlighted how the supermarkets are wasting good fresh food.

All down to the EU bringing out stupid rules for food. Like carrots that had to be a uniform colour, cucumbers that had to be straight and bananas that could only bend a little bit. This meant that 50% of the crops went into manure, or where sold at farmers markets. Another neo Marxist policy that was a failure because the morons did not think it through. The Russians had a name for it, and showed the nut and bolt factory that was a perfect example of neo Marxist stupidity. The workers found that they could produce 100 15mm x 100mm bolts an hour while also producing 150 10mm nuts an hour. The whole of Russia was flooded with odd sized nuts and bolts that did not match.

NO and it seems that you cant see that the supermarkets will need to cut back on produce buying or face large penalties.

Preposterous. What "large penalties"?? All they're required to do is channel that stuff into where it can be used instead of throwing it away. Which is just common sense anyway.

How the **** do you get "large penalties" out of that?

So what will happen if the supermarkets refuse to comply with the law and keep on throwing the food away ?

What would happen if we all refused to comply with laws?

Ridiculous question.

You cannot answer my query. It's a simple matter of direction. Either the surplus goes to waste and rot, OR it goes to an avenue that distributes it. On the part of the surplus holder, it's exactly the same amount of work.

Why would they intentionally direct it to waste? Out of spite? That's ******* stupid. It's the same argument the anti-recyclists use to intentionally toss a plastic bottle in the trash, when there's a recycle unit right next to it.

The French supermarket law

"...Now bosses of supermarkets with a footprint of 400 sq metres (4,305 sq ft) or more will have to sign donation contracts with charities or face a penalty of €3,750 (£2,900)....

...France, so far, goes further than the UK, where the government has a voluntary agreement with the grocery and retail sector to cut food and packaging waste in the supply chain and does not have mandatory targets. However, a UK food waste bill, with similar provisions, was introduced to the Commons last September by the Labour MP Kerry McCarthy.

Of the 7.1m tonnes of food wasted in France annually, 67% is binned by consumers, 15% by restaurants and 11% by shops. Each year 1.3bn tonnes of food are wasted worldwide.

A report published in 2015 showed that UK households threw away 7m tonnes of food in 2012, enough to fill London’s Wembley stadium nine times over. Avoidable household food waste in the UK is associated with 17m tonnes of CO2 emissions annually...."

"...Tesco has agreed a deal to donate all the unsold food from its stores to charity. ...
... The plan is part of a nationwide roll-out of a 14-store pilot programme called the Community Food Connection. ....

The supermarket giant announced plans to work with 5,000 local charities across the UK in an initiative that aims to eradicate all its food waste by the end of 2017...."

In the olden days, I used to see massive old produce picked up by farmers to feed Hogs or other animals.

Didn't do the pigs or people eating bacon any harm back then either, then swill was banned and so farmers fed pigs on scrag or small fish that was no good for human consumption. It was the ultimate up-cycling and led to some very healthy pigs and cheap meat on the table. The good old days when food was funny shaped and better tasting

I call BS on that one.

It's none of the government's ******* business if a business or person throws away food he bought and paid for.

You do realize this is nothing but government forced charity don't you? it's absolutely no different that the government telling everyone they have to donate X amount of their money and/or belongings to charity
