Charlie McConalogue, the Minister of Agriculture, has proposed that eateries reduce food waste by providing free second, reports Breaking News.
He asserted that serving seconds to customers instead of heaping enormous servings onto their plates is “purely common sense” for businesses.
In an interview with the Irish Examiner, the Donegal TD stated that in order to decrease food waste, dining establishments have to lower the serving sizes on patrons’ plates, reports Breaking News.
Speaking on Monday, Mr. McConalogue stated that he did not think his remarks were “anything controversial.”
“The simple point I made, which is purely common sense in my view, is that rather than put too much on the plate, it will make sense to go and do seconds,” he told RTÉ’s Drivetime programme, reports Breaking News.
