Greetings BESTers, One big cause of food waste is restaurants and grocery stores throwing away left over food. The logical and ethical choice would be to donate this food to local shelters and food banks, but many businesses shy away from this due to liability issues. A new law in Nevada now allows businesses to be immune to these liabilities. It seems ridiculous that this problem is only now being addressed and why every state hasn't passed similar laws. It's truly a shame when perfectly edible food is thrown away (even if it's to a digester) when there are people on our streets going hungry, and all because of some obscene legal issues. Let's hope other states follow suit with Nevada, and allow businesses to donate their food without fear of liability. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/jun/18/law-allows-restaurants-freedom-be-charitable/ Timothy Parr Las Vegas Sun "Law allows restaurants freedom to be charitable" June 18th, 2009 Have a great weekend, Ryan
