French town fines parents 4.90 euros when children skip school canteen
Original: Une pénalité de 4,90 euros si un enfant ne vient pas à la cantine : cette ville prend une mesure radicale pour lutter co
A French town has introduced a 4.90 euro penalty charged to families whose child is absent from the school canteen, a radical measure intended to cut food waste. By charging for unused meals that are still prepared, the town hopes to push parents to warn of absences in advance and reduce the amount of thrown-away food in school catering.
Why now: The unusual fine targeting parents has sparked debate over the fight against food waste and who should pay for unused school meals.
