Something else that would significantly help with food waste: change our "the more you buy, the more you save" attitude towards shopping. Why not make it illegal for shops to offer " for $5" specials that FORCE shoppers to buy 2 if they really only need one?  That type of thinking not only encourages waste, it encourages excess consumption and, consequently, health problems and increased health costs. Let the shopper get the one item for $2.50!I personally will not take part in that scheme. If I have to buy two to get the sale price, I just don't buy the item.
