New French law bans grocers from throwing away food.!!

[daws101]

American farmers had had the answer for centuries-----FEED IT TO THE PIGS

That's on the farm though.

What about after its in the stores or restaurants?

As long as there are hungry people, there's really no excuse to throw food away.

Not if you're a conservative, the rule of conspicuous consumption applies.

nope------food trash can be packed up and shipped TO PIG FARMS . Better yet-----a pig pen in every town

 

[PoliticalChic]

When "forced by the government" is added, anything turns to shit.

Liberal calculus:
Good intention + coercion= solution

false steaming pile.

How classy...you must be a Liberal, huh?

I gave it a G rating so you wouldn't get the vapors!
Considering your delicate state of mind.

G for gross or for gutter?

Better yet - FEED THE HUNGRY PEOPLE.

These are perishables that are coming up on or are past their expiration date that they can no longer sell, and they are just going to be thrown away and left to spoil, but you and your ilk would rather people starve.

.

You stupid jackass. How can a store sell their product when the govt forces them to give it away?. This is gonna result in food shortages. It's like when countries send free food to Africa and then wonder why Africa can't produce its own food. THINK

Wrong again.

You're the one who never thinks. All you post is lies. He made a good point and that is, why throw away perishables when there are hungry people?

BTW - When are we gonna be rounding up racist kkk, white supremacists, child sexual predators and other human garbage, shooting them down and pushing their bodies into open pits? Its way past time.

Since you are incapable of thinking you'll miss the glaring irony of that statement.
Once again asshole the food that being given away did not sell .
Having to pay for disposals more often is far more expensive than feeding people.

 

[Desperado]

It is a better idea that what we have here, where the stores have to throw away all products that are beyond their expiration dates.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

And pretty soon most food won't sell as people realize they can get food for free. THINK

 

[reconmark]

Has anyone ever seen the amount of undamaged , unopened food a meijers or Walmart throws away nightly???
It could easily feed 100 people daily, some perfectly good food is thrown away because they store and producer no longer have a contract.
The op as usual is a dumb ass.

Like most liberals you can't think ahead. Forcing business to give away it's product will cause businessmen to leave the food industry and shortages will result.

 

[Katzndogz]

France most probably has the same number of hungry people we do. What we all have is an abundance of people that want free food.

Like most conservatives, you are stupid and can't read.
Nobody is making them give away food that could be sold for profit; they are saying that instead of depositing it in the garbage deposit it to needy people.
Stop being an idiot if possible.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

To me, if food has gone bad, no one will want it, so what will be the point of having it remain on the shelf?

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Cutting back on how much is put out of each item in my opinion would be the better thing to do because then there won't be as much waste.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Business is being FORCED to give away their product to customers for free. Is that a good business model.?

French law forbids food waste by supermarkets

feb 4 2016 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.

The law follows a grassroots campaign in France by shoppers, anti-poverty campaigners and those opposed to food waste. 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 penalties, including fines of up to €75,000 (£53,000) or two years’ imprisonment.

In the US, it is illegal......as is pretty much everything else.

No its not.

Many stores and restaurants give away excess food.

Foxwoods used to sent a truckload of leftovers to the local food bank every night,

Someone got sick and blamed them...they said "fuck you" and now it goes in the trash.

That will be extremely common if we have laws like this in america. In fact people will just lie and say the free food made them sick and sue the company.

I'm sure hankering for a dumpster dive salad right now...

 

[Katzndogz]

The Freegans are yuppies that dumpster dive for free food. That's why some stores douse the food in bleach. The freegans are young and smart. They know what a food caused illness is worth in a courtroom.

The Right will go to any length to make life harder for the poor, as shown by their posts.

Poverty should be so painful that people will do anything, take any job, not to be poor. They should be rib showing belly swollen starving.

Even as a kid and we had nothing I recognized that it was the self righteous, do-gooders that helped us along into staying in that kind of poverty.

I don't hate the poor. I hate the people helping them.
