          Sorry but I do t want to visit you at home. Further I don’t have to, I am in a civilized country where supermarkets are required to give their surplus away for free

            Wow this is insane as in wonderful! Where do you live I want to move there! Best I’ve seen around here is lower price on stuff I “save” (as in buying yesterdays bread or greens for a lower price) fully on the markets whim, but “required to give away” is really next level! Do you know how that went through, how I pitch this to my politicians?

              Well I kinda don’t want to, due to minimizing my digital footprint but here is a paper of different states that did it and it even has some recommendations for lawmakers https://www.researchgate.net/publication/368501454_Anti-food_Waste_Laws_A_Comparative_Analysis

              At least in my local community supermarkets started to give away food that was on the best before date or with a high discount (30-90%) depends heavily on the cost though. Bananas for example are often free while oranges are just heavily reduced. Cheese and similar products have the lowest reduction in my experience.

                Totally understand the digital footprint thing, I still got examples of places, including source, really nice :D.
