RE: Bridging the Gap Between Food Insecurity and Food Waste in the U.S. – Can We Do It?
it'd be interesting to see what would happen if laws were implemented in the States as they have been in Europe to address this issue. i.e.
Italy to change law to make all supermarkets give unsold food to needy
It would be interesting! Though I think that its a bit ridiculous that many grocery stores don't already donate their surpluses and that such a law needs to be put into place to see changes happen.
absolutely. but they are so concerned about liability.
I'm not sure if there are similar laws in other countries but the U.S. has the Good Samaritan Act of 1996 that exempts donors from liability for food donations except for in cases of gross negligence.
