France became the world's first country to make it illegal for large supermarkets to throw away or deliberately destroy edible unsold food.
Under the groundbreaking law (known as Loi Garot), stores over 400 square meters (about 4,305 square feet) must now partner with charities and food banks to donate still-safe surplus food rather than discard it. They are explicitly banned from spoiling items—like dousing them in bleach—to prevent dumpster diving. Non-edible food can go to animal feed, composting, or other recovery uses instead of landfills.
The measure tackled a glaring contradiction: France was wasting around 7 million tons of food annually while millions faced food insecurity. Supermarkets previously contributed significantly to that waste, sometimes for liability reasons or to avoid competition with discounted sales.
The policy has boosted donations—food banks report receiving far more usable goods—and forms part of a national push to halve food waste, including school education, business incentives, and supply-chain reforms.
While critics note it doesn't fully address overproduction upstream and compliance varies, the approach has inspired similar efforts in places like Italy and the Czech Republic.

Fun fact.
Horses are unguligrade animals, meaning they walk on the tips of their digits rather than the soles of their feet.
What looks like a horse’s leg below the knee is actually mostly one elongated middle finger ending in the hoof.

56% of white liberal women aged 18–29 reported having been diagnosed with a mental health condition.
They also report much lower satisfaction (only 12% “completely satisfied” vs. 37% for conservative women in 2024 data).
TLDR: they’re crazy & unhappy and they shout at walls.
