God help you if ever you're caught on these shores

A man's ambition must indeed be small
To write his name upon a shithouse wall

Big stores are just not that big a part of the problem, comparatively. Which makes sense if you think about it, because they have every incentive to reduce the wastage eating into their profits.

No it doesn't, that's not how businesses work in the real world, it doesn't matter to them whether it feeds homeless/staff or goes into a bin, and breakages are an accounting feature. "If you think about it" is a terrible thought terminating cliche. The defence made by the supermarkets is also a load of poo poo. We aren't the absolute worst, but we're certainly the worst single-target ("consumers" aren't a group that can be legislated at and enforced on), so leave us alone. That, too, is a terrible argument.

Well done France, now if only consumption didn't drive the world maybe we'd not all be hosed.
