"I saw this when I was working in a restaurant in the US as well. Every night, we have to throw away trays of perfectly good food because the restaurant cooked too much and could not keep them to sell the next day in case they get sued. Employees were not allowed to bring the leftover food back as well because of a previous lawsuit; the employee brought the food back, got food poisoning, and sued the restaurant for it. And every restaurant in the US does this, which seems really wasteful to me. In Singapore, there is a bakery that gives leftover bread (still good but a little stale) to shelters for the poor. Maybe you could convince restaurants in the Netherlands to do this?"August 5 2012 on Start a campaign to reduce the waste of good food: create awareness...

"This is a good idea in principle. However, although fair trade aims to help producers in developing countries, in reality, there are few regulations that ensure this. In fact, fair trade has been criticised for creating more harm to farmers instead (for more information, check out the wikipedia article on fair trade http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_trade). Therefore, I suggest to petition schools to serve healthy food in their cafeterias instead, something like Jamie's Food Revolution (http://www.jamieoliver.com/us/foundation/jamies-food-revolution/why), since the obesity rate in Dutch children seems to be increasing."June 10 2012 on Spend one month to convince all nurseries/Childrens' daycares to use...
