or does it include industrial waste material too

Yeah I think the west wastes more food at home because chinks shop everyday for groceries

as chinks for sure use more pieces from their animals than most of the countries

I wouldn't say so, industrial food waste is by far the biggest food waste in the EU because of the strict regulations

grocery stores throw away tons of perfectly fine food only because it's past best before

and literaly throw > tear open packets/poison them to prevent dumbster divers

>locket trashbins

etc etc

Like I was in Aldi last week because my gf wanted hot pot and Aldi has really nice thin sliced beef. Deep frozen. It was 1 day past best before but fucking frozen. Who the hell cares, right? I did not even want it for free, I wanted to pay for it and they refused to sell it because they are not allowed

You would probably never see that in China

i know that feel

Nah everything is past due in China haha

"this product has been in deepfreeze section for 3 years now but its 1 day past best before date so you cant buy it"

They don't even have a best before date, only "manufactured on" dates

that's a more sane thing to do

you know how old it is, you decide if you still want it

also aids in natural selection + immunology too

Well that's because it's tough to sue companies here if you're just a person

yes but "best before" crazyness is huge here

is it that bad in the US, too, or is it just overregulated EU autism?

Same in USA. My mom is terrible about it. Refuses to eat anything that's even almost expired

luckily i have decent deal with small market nearby

If she leaves a sandwich out for 2 hours she throws it out

one of their workers messages me if they have some good shit going to trash

_illegal_ but we dont care really

I pack sandwiches and eat them 6 hours after that sometimes

also thats why we mostly buy from lidl, everything is super fresh

There's a public owned grocery store in Switzerland that just sells everything on the expiry date at 50%, and if it's still there, they give it for free to homeless / family in need after the shop closes

But only on the expiry day, not one day later

Also there's https://toogoodtogo.com/

Love that app

same here 1 day before -30% and on the last date -40% if clock is 21pm -23pm they give it for free or -60%(canned stuff)

@porco we have similar but for -60% restaurant food whats left-overs

most of (shitty) kebab places use it too what is kind of neat

https://resq-club.com/app/

apparently they have changed it so that the places get to mark the prices now (good and bad)

I hate reading shit on the internet, is everyone just lying or do everyone really "go from homeless to IT Director Manager making 200k in a year"

"no degree no experience "

Is everyone really lucky or am I just fucking stupid

consider that people who arent lucky will almost never publicly talk about it
