I've worked in a few. As a European I'd say food waste was lower than that.
Id expect restaurant food waste to be higher, as they can't personalise portion sizes as effectively, so unless most people eat out most days, I don't see how that could account for all the waste.
But apparently it does? I really hope peelings etc are included, because even then there's still a family out there wasting 3kg+ of food/person/wk, just to balance my family out.
- allannienhuis 8y agoEuropeans out out a lot less than most places in the world. Perhaps a stronger home-cooking culture. https://www.nielsen.com/ca/en/insights/news/2016/dining-without-doing-dishes-almost-half-globally-eat-away-from-home.html https://www.nielsen.com/ca/en/insights/news/2016/dining-with... Looks like it's about twice as often as in Europe. Interestingly Asia/Pacific is even higher (cheap street food FTW!)
