You're in a locale where there's no heath ordinance against taking food that you own out of the establishment. There's more than you need on the plate.
Would you let it be tossed in a garbage bin rather than eat it later or donate it to someone in need?
No when I'm finished with a plate of food what's left on the plate, which is generally not a lot, is garbage. Two french fries some sauce and a couple of button mushrooms are going to provide a homeless guy with much sustenance.
If someone lives a large portion of their food on their plate the consensus in the UK would be “what did you order that for? Eyes bigger than your belly?”
As for finding someone needy to eat it, how is that done and who does it? The person who left it on their plate? I'm pretty sure that person doesn't want to drive around looking for tramps to give it to they just want to go home now! And if staff at the restaurant are touring the streets with plates of leftovers who's covering for them at the restaurant?
Do you think all restaurants should employ full time leftovers distributors for the needy?
You do know that supermarkets, cafes and sandwich shops throw massive amounts of perfectly good food away everyday right? Maybe you should be getting in their grill about waste rather than diners and their poxy little leftovers?
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
