Great idea, terrible copyediting: a very occasional series.

From mic.com:

France has taken dramatic action to cut food waste by requiring that all large supermarkets donate their unsold food to charities or else be used in animal feed.

That's ... pretty strict.

Now there's an idea for a YA dystopia.

Would we call that a DYStopia? I'm quite pro- eating the rich, myself.

*wry* Depends on the definition. (A large chunk of my childhood bullying was explicitly being designated as "rich" due to doctor-mother-lawyer-father, which in turn meant my stuff didn't matter because it could be replaced, I was a legitimate abuse target because I clearly had it better than anyone, and adults I attempted to tell I was depressed explicitly told me that with a family like mine I couldn't actually have any real problems.)

Ooof, yeah. Only the adult rich who have willfully ground the faces of the poor will be eaten.

Well, on the side of leniency, only the supermarket itself will be used in animal feed, not the people working at the store. Of course, then they'll be unemployed and who knows what will happen to them next.
