Every day, tons of edible food are discarded at supermarkets worldwide. This action not only wastes resources but also represents a great injustice in the face of hunger. Therefore, supermarkets should be required to donate excess food instead of throwing it away. The first and most important reason is the ethical issue. Discarding food while others are starving is inhumane. Donating excess food to food banks, soup kitchens, or relief organizations would provide meals for those in need, reducing food insecurity and improving their lives. Secondly, donating excess food offers economic and environmental benefits. Food waste is costly to dispose of and generates greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. By donating food, supermarkets can reduce disposal costs and minimize their environmental impact. Thirdly, many supermarkets have demonstrated that donating excess food is feasible and effective. Partnerships with charities have helped distribute food to those in need while reducing food waste. Governments can implement policies to encourage or require supermarkets to participate in these programs. In conclusion, requiring supermarkets to donate excess food is not only ethical but also economically and environmentally beneficial. It is a practical solution to reduce food waste and help those in need. We must act now to end this waste and build a more equitable society.
