Starting Monday, Austin restaurants and food businesses have to come up with alternatives to tossing extra food in the trash.
The city hopes businesses donate the extra food to those in need, but they could also give it to local farms or compost it. It's part of the Universal Recycling Ordinance, which the city hopes will help reach its Zero Waste by 2040 goal.

They were starving in Barvaria in my time...I’m not sure my Grandmother even knew where it was though....but I never went hungry...because i finished my plate....
We shall insurmount!

Everything decays
Soylent Green! About time!
What took them so long to come up with an idea that has been in practice for decades? Ah, it’s Austin. Never mind!

Can’t risk people getting sick! Don’t give that food to the vagrants - they’ll get sick (never mind they might starve or get dirty food from dumpsters)! Oh wait, we’re wasting stuff - can’t ever throw things away, must “recycle” - go ahead, you MUST give it to the vagrants!
Is this from the same mayor that thought it was OK to seek sermons from ministers?
People are thirsty too so be sure and finish your beer.
Start at the college campuses.
If the kids in the dorm don’t finish a meal put it in the fridge and serve them leftovers until it is done
Grammar Police on patrol. Good work! ;o)
Yes! I was at a high school party (not Brett Kavanaugh’s) where we watched Dan change television forever with the Bass-O-Matic. The boys roared, the girls said “ewwwww.”
A wonderful American moment.
Democrats, of course, Quaker prudes that we have finally found out that they are, would have collapsed in repulsion and planned demonstrations.
