I reactivate this subject to share an anecdote.
We have 3 equidae at home (including Nénuphar, a Breton draft horse with which I share my horse experiments and some epic times). We also have 5 rabbits, 4 quail and 1 duck, (not to mention wild boars, foxes, badgers and other wild fauna that make us visit nocturnal), and all this little animal world lives outside in the fresh air and is fed mainly with wild boar. hay and cereals.
To improve their diet I regularly ask traders if they have unsold food: fruits, vegetables, bread, ...
This year Ministère de la transition écologique has passed a law to fight against waste: https://www.ecologique-solidaire.gouv.f ... oins-jeterSuddenly, now when I ask the traders if they have unsold food they do not know what to do with and that they can give me for my animals, they answer me "
No ... now there is a law to fight against waste!".
But as I'm stubborn, I keep asking and it happens that a trader eventually give me some unsold, but obviously now with some gene. So I asked what they were doing now unsold food ...
Well now ... they throw them ... but discreetly because it's forbidden but they have no solution!Usually they put them in black trash bags, and hop in the evening it is thrown in the bucket, but with the greatest discretion.
What is ugly is that at the same time
there are regular food collection operations organized by associations, usually at the entrance of supermarkets; it is true that it is more class to recover a food product that comes straight from the radius of the supermarket, via the caddy of the housewife, than to go get it in the bucket behind the building!
Our company is on the head: certainly there are businesses that are organized to avoid this food waste, often more motivated by the tax advantages than for charitable reasons, but we produce too much on one side, we throw much of the other, a law forbids to throw to traders, but nothing is really set up or organized to try to match these yet complementary phenomena.
I would not be surprised if a law forbids the population to breathe during pollution peaks!
(There is also a mayor who has forbidden to die on his commune because the communal cemetery was full ...
