I live in the United States. It's definitely not at a point where I would call it a solution. A lot of places still fear litigation. Quick story:
I once worked in a restaurant that would throw away cheesecake every other week. The rule was that we could eat it while at work, but if we took it home, we would get fired. It bothered me so much, that I once ate 8-10 pieces rather than throwing them away. I was so sick, I didn't eat cheesecake for a year.
lol @moeknows! It's similar in most stores here in Sweden. The employers aren't allowed to eat or take anything home by threat of being fired.
I have a hard time throwing away food myself but that's where inviting friends over comes in handy. Living the gift economy and introducing them to the gift economy of the Steem blockchain at the same time, a win-win! 😀
I agree. It's a great initiative.
