What a glorious idea!
I agree. Inspirational too.

France leads the way…go France…who’s next?
I’ve heard that the former CEO of Trader Joe’s has also created innovative ways to use much of the waste that comes from the public’s misunderstanding of food expiration dates. these stories are encouraging.

That’s terrific news, that’s for sharing it and for sharing the link as well.
Good for them. I forwarded the video link to the corporate headquarters of our chain store in IA.
Great idea! Thank you for reading this post and for spreading the word about this concept.

The customer service rep replied right away. They pointed out how many millions of pounds of produce and other products with short shelf lives get donated to the local pantries and free lunch programs in our community. We see their generosity when we volunteer. Our local group is http://www.table2table.org/
Thank you for the additional info, Jim. That is an excellent point and terrific use of food that would otherwise be wasted. I suspect that these two ideas used in tandem could eliminate nearly all of the remaining waste.
