How about for starters, instead of implementing some silly national policy, what if we don't waste so much food?
I'm sure the Brits aren't the only ones that waste lots of food. The average UK family throws out 18% - 27% of all food purchased.
Remember, you pay to buy the food, you pay for garbage service, you pay for environmental destruction of wasted crop lands, and poor people pay for higher prices because of the higher demand.
Common wasted foods that could have been used, bread & potatoes.

PS We at GBAtT are not suggesting that you gorge yourself. That raises a-whole-nother set of issues.
