Wasting food in school canteens

Abstract

There is enough of virtually everything in modern times. This concerns also food; also the preparation of food is getting faster – not wasting is virtually impossible also in this sector. The article deals with waste in school canteens. It is mainly children who–without sufficient control of their parents and teachers –waste food in schools. However, it is up to each of us how we approach eating – we can educate ourselves and be interested in the issue. At the same time, we need to spread the awareness of the harmfulness of wasting resources in general. If we succeed in educating school children and teach them how to deal with food, we can improve the overall food use situation in the future.
