What the petition asks
Wasting food is financially, morally & ethically unsound. Millions currently rely on food banks, whilst the obesity crisis & nutritionally-related illnesses cause strain on the NHS. Meanwhile perfectly good, healthy food is being scrapped each week when it could help feed those in the most need.
