How ChiComs Cut Down on Food Waste
To learn what comes next in the field of nannyism, we turn to communist China, the premier role model for authoritarians. Here’s how a restaurant in Changsha participated in a national campaign against food waste:
Customers were asked to stand on scales and scan their data into an app that recommended food choices based on their weight and the dishes’ calorific value, according to a report by the state-run China News Service.
The restaurant apologized for getting carried away in its attempts to implement Xi Jinping’s wishes. Meanwhile,
Chinese state media has also waged war on viral binge-eating videos, known as “mukbang”, while livestreaming platforms have promised to shut down accounts promoting excess eating and food wastage.
YouTube’s Susan Wojcicki would approve.
