No excuse not to donate leftover food
By Eleanor Goldberg, Huffington Post
A single restaurant in the U.S. wastes about 100,000 pounds of food a year, according to the Green Restaurant Association, making them auspicious donors for hunger relief groups. But many restaurants are reluctant to give away their edible leftovers, citing fears of getting sued.
But they shouldn’t be so worried about backlash, experts say.
Because no such lawsuit has ever been waged.
There is no available public record of anyone in the United States being sued because of harms related to donated food.
