That's like saying "Restaurants have food, and there are homeless people in the city, so why can't we distribute the food from the restaurant to hungry homeless people in the city?".
If you were to distribute foods from the restaurant to the hungry people in the city, then these restaurants won't produce that food, because they are not a charity, they are in the business.
Similarly, if you don't figure out where this money would come from, you will soon stop seeing all this money you want to give away.
- mirimir 11y agoI used to manage a restaurant. All unmarketable but edible waste went to homeless shelters. Remaining inedible but unspoiled food went to pig farmers. Remaining spoiled food went to composting facilities. Our target market loved all of those policies.
- splintercell 11y agoI know someone would talk about the wasted food in a restaurant when I am talking about the non-wasted food.
- mirimir 11y agoWasted food includes what didn't sell. And honestly, it didn't occur to me that you were suggesting that restaurants would be expected to donate marketable food. Markets, restaurants, etc often lock waste containers, to prevent theft.
