Editorial: Food shouldn’t go to waste

,

Editorial from the Times Colonist on food waste in the region.

It’s cruel irony that people go hungry in this country, yet we waste billions of dollars worth of usable food each year. That’s why the “food rescue” initiative by nine local Rotary clubs and the Victoria Foundation is such a welcome development. It endeavours to ease two problems — food waste and hunger — with one solution.
