When will the waste in the bread baking industry stop?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-03-02

There are many bakeries near our house, and everyone likes to buy freshly baked bread and eat it, because the freshly baked bread is not only fluffy, but also has a delicious flavor and a very good taste, and everyone likes to eat it. However, after a period of time, the bread will gradually harden, and the flavor of the bread will slowly disappear. Therefore, everyone only buys freshly baked bread and eats it with a good taste. Such consumption habits can lead to a wasteful behavior.

The bread loss rate in each bread bakery is extremely high, some even exceed 50%, that is, half of the bread products are not sold, but directly poured into the trash for disposal. Although these breads are delicious foods to eat and fill your stomach, no boss is willing to take on the responsibility of giving out expiring bread for free, in case of food safety disputes? The responsibility for food safety in that way is unbearable, so everyone invariably chooses to dump and dispose of it, and some stores even stipulate that employees are not allowed to take it away.

If an employee takes away or eats the expiring bread, he or she will be dismissed immediately. Looking at these management regulations, I am also drunk when I think about it, sometimes I go to work hungry, and then I dump and dispose of these breads regularly, but I definitely don't touch them, and I buy them myself if I want to eat. On the one hand, there is endless waste, and on the other hand, many people are hungry, why is this happening?

Why can't there be an intermediary that comes out and takes these advent breads and distributes them to those in need? Isn't it the best of both worlds? In any case, it's better than waiting to be dumped every day, right?

Even if it's the worst way to deal with it, it's better to gather together and make feed for the animals to eat, than to just take it out of the trash? Every day, I see these expiring breads fall directly into the trash, and there is always an inexplicable sadness in my heart, that is, I don't know when the wasteful behavior of the bread baking industry can be stopped?
