Summary:
Everybody knows that the French people are very particular about their food. And because they feel so strongly about food they have decided that something needs to be done about food waste. France has created many rules that they believe may end food waste. Rules such as supermarkets are not allowed to throw away food that is nearing their expiration date, instead they donate it or compost it. Although they may be a small scale operation France feels that they may be able to make a change.
Thoughts on the article:
In my opinion this operation could play a very important role in helping world hunger. Whenever I would throw away food my mom would always tell me, "Think of the kids who would have loved to eat that food". And I feel that this is what France is trying to achieve, but on a larger scale. I feel that world hunger is not something to take lightly and France can obviously agree.
How the article ties into Culture:
Although this article may seem as though it has nothing to do with culture, it does. Culture deals with how people live their life day to day. Think about when you do something nice for someone, it changes the way you live your life and go through your day. Not only that, but food plays and important role in French culture. They take their food very seriously. So in a way they combined their most important part of culture and turned into something great for evryone else.
