This is a great way to remind food wasters! Basically, it's about educating food wasters by heightening their awareness.
Sometimes, we simply could not stop ourselves from being 'greedy' when the situation permits.
I'm not sure if it's the Asian mentality? or it's just the "Chinese" mentality? or simply because we have yet heard of similar reports of food wasters in the other side of the globe?
In Singapore, we faced similar problem - not from the "chinese" as this was an issue long before the chinese started invading. It's our local people who possess the "kiasu" mentality, thinking of stretching every single note or cent - to make the money worth. It was so serious that the restaurants here introduced "fine" as a penalty. Well, it works here, in Singapore! Don't forget, we earned our reputation as a "Fine City" long long ago, so the approach to 'fine' was not new to many people. However, "fine" only imposes as a deterrent. It had not educated people or raise their awareness about the impact of their action. That's why I like the Swiss' approach :)
