If it's not good enough to sell is it good enough to eat?

You would be surprised by the amount of bakery and produce items grocery stores throw away because it is not fresh and up to the stores standards to sell, but still good enough to eat.

There is a big difference between best by or sell by dates and spoiled by dates. This is a great idea and should by implemented worldwide.

Restaurants (at least here in the states) should do the same. One evening hubby was at a KFC when a man came in ordered simply then took out all change to pay and was short. It was 10 mins to closing time but they wouldn't give the man what he ordered.
Hubby paid for him then asked what KFC did with all the chicken in the case. "We throw it out" was the reply!

Very interesting but as things go what is a law in France does not mean it will be automatically followed in St Martin.

Not necessarily. St Martin is an Overseas Collectivity - not a Department.

yes you are exactly right if it is law in France it is law in St Martin. I don't want to get in an argument about this but over the years I have observed a lot of regulations / laws are not followed in St Martin like they should be.I know you have been going to St Martin for a long time and can probably show me more instances of this oversight than I can.
