    OPTION A: ITALY ADOPTS NEW LAW TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE KEY

    1 Food waste is an issue that has begun to gain attention all over the world. Besides perpetuating hunger and food
    2 shortage, food waste is a huge contributor to global climate change, as it releases the equivalent to some 3.3 billion
    3 tons of CO2 each year.
    4 Italy, known for its amazing food, is doing something about it. To combat food waste, the Italian government
    5 recently passed a new law aimed at making it easier for both sellers and consumers to prevent food waste. The new
    6 law will relax regulations that have kept some restaurants, farmers and retailers from donating their leftover or unsold
    7 food. Specifically, it will clarify that food can still be donated even if it has passed its sell-by date, and will allow
    8 farmers to donate unsold food to charities without having to pay extra.
    9 The law also contemplates creating cultural changes in the way Italians think about food – such as making it
    10 easier to request “family bags” (sometimes known as the “doggy bag”) to take home unfinished food ordered at
    11 restaurants, something that most Italians currently do not do.
    12 Massimo Bottura, who was named the best chef in the world in 2016, is one of Italy’s most important activists on
    13 the matter. During the Milan Expo, he opened an experimental soup kitchen with a Catholic charity that used food
    14 that had been left over from the exhibition as part of a campaign to raise awareness about food waste.
    15 Many hope the law will not only reduce food waste by 1 million tons each year but also benefit the 6 million
    16 Italians living in poverty who rely on donations to survive.
