It’s worth noting that giving people smaller plates will nudge people take a bit less on their first helping, preventing waste
Another article blaming us…amazing.
I see grocery stores throwing out more food in a month then I do in 5 years.
Yeah it’s grocery stores and food distributors that make up the bulk of food waste. Anything that’s not aesthetically perfect gets thrown out unless it can be sold in bulk to a food processor or a farmer.
We have little power to change policy at grocery stores. We have enormous power to choose to put smaller plates out.
Sooo these companies are going to donate all the food they didn’t sell, right? They’re not? Oh, well the food already exists in the world, I might as well eat as much as I want so it doesn’t get thrown away. I’m not the one producing the food so it shouldn’t be my responsibility to donate as much as I can. I still will donate what I don’t need, but what will these companies donate? I’m doing my part.
Not my fault. Blame businesses. You know, the ones contributing to climate change
