#39: Check Your Privilege
In recent times, the idea of wasting food has become less and less taboo. People have become so comfortable throwing food away that, more often than not, they won’t even think twice about whether they put something on their plate or not. But this restaurant buffet has figured out a way to encourage people to eat by making them feel responsible for their waste.
They calculate all of the restaurant’s food waste at the end of each day and highlight very real statistics for their patrons to see. It can be very easy to turn a blind eye to these things when you don’t see a tangible representation of the effects… Seeing something like this definitely has the potential to help people make better choices.
