Yes but it should not be a priority. If we cannot afford to do it then it won’t be done
@B259WFS4mos4MO
The government should be focusing less on trading garbage to other countries.
@9ZNZZY85mos5MO
Yes, so long as this only applied to commercial operations and doesn't impact private citizens.
@9WYDMSD6mos6MO
Yes, businesses who throw out food that can still be eaten if it can be fed to people who need it but refuse should be punished, businesses who feed people in need instead of wasting should be given tax breaks equal to the amount of potentially lost profits.
@9W6K72M6mos6MO
Incentives to business to reduce it by charitable donation
@9VW59ZN6mos6MO
The government is so inefficient in everything it does, this would just be another waste of taxpayer dollars
@B2VM2742mos2MO
Government should regulate food waste, not subsidize it.
@9TLDMJL7mos7MO
Yes, but not in a way that introduces consequences to people who do. Programs can be created but only as encouragement to decrease food waste.
