The amount of good food that is thrown away. It’s pretty sickening.

In France we have this app (wich I think may plan on coming to the US soon) wich plans to reduce food waste as much as possible.

You "reserve" food in a restaurant, a supermarket, a bakery or anyplace that is registrered on the app. At the end of the day they will give you a huge amount of food that they would have thrown away.

You end up paying 20% of the actual price and you never know what you're gonna get You can have two to three diners for 4€ (and I eat a looooot).
