This article is interesting. I am always an advocate against food wastage. If we reduce wastages at the restaurants, a lot of hungry people can be fed.
I wonder whether Al Anezi's effort will start a new era against wastages. We need to do something before we destroy our earth.
Until the next time, cheers.

"There are many clients who make large orders in order to impress the people around them and boost their social prestige," Mr al Anezi said.
The fines will be calculated based on the amount of food left on the plate.
Mr al Anezi claims the move has received widespread support from other Saudis.
