Rejected petition Ban supermarkets from wasting food and make them donate it to those who need it.

France has become the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away or destroying unsold food, forcing them instead to donate it to charities and food banks.
A ban should be enforced here in this country too.
No one deserves to go hungry.
