French supermarkets banned from throwing away and spoiling unsold food'Supermarkets will be obliged to sign a donation deal with charities' Supermarkets in France have been banned from throwing away or spoiling unsold food by law. The stores are now required to donate unwanted food to charities and food banks. To stop foragers, some supermarkets have poured bleach over the discarded food or storing binned food in locked warehouses. This law was voted unanimously by the French senate on Wednesday after a petition was launched by Courbevoie councillor Arash Derambarsh. It will apply to any supermarket with a footprint of 400 square metres or larger. If companies flout the law they coud incur fines up to 3750 Euros. Jacques Bailet from Banques Alimentaires, a network of Food banks, told the Guardian: "Most importantly, because supermarkets will be obliged to sign a donation deal with charities, we’ll be able to increase the quality and diversity of food we get and distribute France Become the first country to force all supermarkets to give unsold food to needy Source : http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/french-law-bans-supermarkets-throwing-away-and-spoiling-unsold-food-giving-them-to-food-banks-and-a6855371.html Hope it will inspire other countries to do the same !!

A five-metre high statue of Zinedine Zidane's famous headbutt on Marco Materazzi has been unveiled in Paris. France captain Zidane was sent off in the 2006 World Cup final, which his team went on to lose on penalties, for headbutting Italy defender Materazzi. The bronze statue, sculpted by Algerian artist Adel Abdesseme, is on display outside the Pompidou Centre in the French capital. Real Madrid and Juventus legend Zidane retired after the game in Berlin. Materazzi has admitted he provoked Zidane by making comments about the France midfielder's sister. Zidane is now working as a sporting director for former club Real Madrid. Source:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19748545 --------------------- Some nice news for a change. I had to chuckle when I saw the picture in the news.
