Hello BESTers, The 2016 Summer Olympics have been underway for a week now and feeding all those athletes means a lot of food, which in turn means a lot of potential food waste. This is where Italian chef Massimo Bottura and Brazilian chef David Hertz step in. They are making sure these leftovers don't go to waste and are using them to prepare meals for hungry Rio citizens. They have started a program, called RefettoRio, which aims to serve 19,000 during the Games. Better yet, once the torch goes dark, RefettoRio will remain. They plan on keeping the program around and continued using leftover food to prepare meals for the needy. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rios-2016-olympics-food-waste-restaurant-massimo-bottura_uk_57ac2954e4b03759dff00a0f Have a great weekend, Ryan Rio 2016 Olympic Village Food Waste Turned Into Three-Course Dinners By Italian Chef Massimo Bottura Louise Ridley Huffington Post November 8, 2016
