Rejected petition Make Starbucks and Cafe Nero donate end of day food, not throw it away.

Big company chains throw away edible food at the end of the day when it is perfectly good to eat. This food should be donated to the food banks, the homeless and the companies that deliver end of day food.
It is extremely wasteful and should be unlawful and made fineable to throw this food away.

More details

Watchdog reported these company chains throwing nearly 5 billion worth of food away every year.
