Supermarkets should donate all unsold and edible food to charity to feed our homeless.

The Issue

Our country may be developed, but everyday people go hungry for a variety of reasons such as unexpected bills, redundancy and homelessness. Latest government figures have revealed that 52,000 families were formally declared as homeless last year.

This has resulted in an increasing need for food banks. Figures published by leading charity The Trussell Trust revealed that foodbanks fed 913,138 people nationwide last year including 330,205 children. 

Our supermarkets throw away millions of pounds worth of edible food each week. Food rotting in landfills doesn't benefit our society so we think it should be given to charity.
