Years ago I read an article where a restaurant wanted to give the left over food to the homeless at the end of the night.

 

The powers that be would not allow it.  It was prerfectly good food that went to waste.

 

 Most of the time our government officials have no common sense.

 

@Mom2Dogs  the powers that be blame the restaurants by saying that they are afraid of the liability in case someone gets sick. But yet it's ok for the homeless to eat from the garbage pails. It just doesn't make sense.

@louisiana I think you better take a time out from watching the Q! Turn off the tv, go outside for a nice, long refreshing walk.

I have watched qvc for many years and am finding the practice of the food shows to be wasteful and unsanitary. 

 

1.  show starts with cooked or open food on the counter

2.  they show you what your going to get

3.  samples of food are out for display

4.  the host and guest open more of the item from sealed containers to show you again, wasteful.

5.  they are breathing over it, touching it and having long hair dangle over it

6.  the hosts and guest touch the samples displayed pulling them apart and even place some touched items back into the common bowl, seriously!! 

 

What is done with this amount of food that you seem to handle and open each presentation?  Does it go to a food bank, shelter, homeless group? 

This is honestly disgusting to watch at times and makes one sick to think that it is now all waste due to the marketing strategy you use.

 

There are things called tongs, rubber gloves, hair tie backs that can be easily incorporated into these shows that will show viewers the high level of food responsibilty that you should have

 

 

Have you ever worked in a restaurant
