- Waste is defined as
use or expend carelessly, extravagantly, or to no purpose.
Thank you all thus far for the varied comments on this all important topic. I am convinced as a people that if we pool our resources and energies together we can stem this wastage. We know of instances where ”leftover” food is given to shelters, soup kitchen and persons in need. There are still others that dispose of it for various reasons (e.g. fear of litigation). Does anyone know of law/s in their respective countries or states protecting restaurants and/or hotels against litigation ? If so, please share.
