A few people tried to acquire this deal before, but they didn\u2019t have enough animals to qualify for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a supermarket, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">it\u2019s impossible to sell everything<\/span>. The customers only buy products in prime condition. Nobody wants to buy yellow lettuce or squished tomatoes. All products in poor condition will not be sold.\u00a0 In fact, some products will not even be sold up to one day before their expiration date; instead, they will be<strong> removed from the store to be thrown in the trash<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a result, there is a lot of food being wasted for these reasons. Now here is the worst part: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">more than 50% of these products are still suitable to eat<\/span> for three days to a week after they will be removed from the store.\u00a0 It is too expensive for the supermarket to separate the still-edible products from the spoiled products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 10px;\" alt=\"vegetables-reception_worldtour-outdoorexperience\" src=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/vegetables-reception_worldtour-outdoorexperience.jpg\" width=\"298\" height=\"169\" \/>Hopefully, there is a solution to use these products: <strong>feed the animals with them<\/strong>. To get this deal here there is only one rule:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Take every product unsellable or we thrown them away<\/strong><\/span>, so only one farm can get the deal. It\u2019s unfair because many farms would like to get this great opportunity. Unfortunately it\u2019s easier for the supermarket to deal with only one farmer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now we are with all the food destined for the dump station\u2026 and we must spare each product in two piles: good for us\/ good for animals. Since s<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ome products are still in prime condition,<\/span> why should we give them to the animals? If we were paid to divide, it would represent between $60 to $120 everyday to fund this process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3512\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" alt=\"second-fridge_food-waste_worldtour-outdoorexperience\" src=\"http:\/\/worldtour-outdoorexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/second-fridge_food-waste_worldtour-outdoorexperience.jpg\" width=\"167\" height=\"302\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m totally disappointed about all this waste. It\u2019s really too much. The farmer and I would prefer to send these products to Africa or in a place where the population needs it. Meanwhile we don\u2019t have the technology to send these products fast enough daily everywhere in the world. Even if we had this technology, these countries wouldn\u2019t have the shipment network required for receiving them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I hope in the future we will have a solution. I leave this mission for someone else. However to motivate this person, I can tell him\/her that: Between 30% and 50% of all the food in the world will never be consumed by humans.
