Make it illegal for supermarkets to destroy edible food.

Created by J.D. on May 26, 2015

We Petition the Obama Administration To... make it illegal for large supermarkets to throw away edible food to cut down on waste. Chains must donate discarded food to charity or allow it to be turned into animal feed, compost or energy.
"...the estimated total value of food loss at the retail and consumer levels in the United States as purchased at retail prices was $165.6 billion."
