Restaurants in France have been ordered to provide doggy bags for diners to take leftovers home, [https://lucidire.com/members/anino2k8.12093/ mobilarian alternative] in a move to cut food wastage. French chefs have traditionally frowned upon doggy bags as a vulgar American custom. Many chefs detest 'le doggy bag' - there is no French term for it - because they think it implies that their food is only fit for dogs. But a new regulation for all restaurants serving more than 180 meals a day will require them to allow customers to take their leftovers home. Takeaway: French chefs have traditionally frowned upon doggy bags as a vulgar American custom (file image) The French government says it wants to reduce the seven million tonnes of food thrown away each year. Food writer Franck Pinay-Rabaroust of the gastronomy magazine Atabula told the Telegraph: 'This is something that won't catch on in France.

That may change a bit now that better designed bags are being made that look more chic, but there's a cultural obstacle.' A recent opinion poll showed that 75 per cent of French people are not hostile to the idea of doggy bags, but 70 per cent have never taken leftovers home. Xavier Denamur, the owner of four restaurants in the ultra-chic Marais neighbourhood of Paris, said his eateries only give out two or three doggy bags a day, mainly to foreigners.

It would be better to pass a law to stop restaurants serving industrially prepared meals that go off quickly.'

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico's attorney general is accusing a company that recruits immigrant teachers from the Philippines to work at public schools of charging exorbitant fees and [https://lucidire.com/forums/javascipt-and-css.75/ mobilarian alternative] using deceptive financial tactics, according to a lawsuit announced Tuesday. The lawsuit was filed with a state district court in Albuquerque against Total [http://www.examandinterviewtips.com/search?q=Teaching%20Solutions Teaching Solutions] International and CEO Janice Bickert of Ruidoso, alleging exorbitant fees to place Filipino teachers in schools on work visas. The suit accuses the company and Bickert of violations under the state unfair practices act. It seeks a permanent restraining order against the company, financial restitution to immigrant teachers, fines of $5,000 per violation and damages. Bickert and company officials could not be reached immediately for comment. Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a statement that the lawsuit is necessary amid a teacher shortage to stop predatory business practices against immigrants. The suit says the company subjected immigrant teachers to fees of $15,000 for placement services on average, when other companies provided identical services for about $4,000. "Once in the United States, teachers are forced to pay previously undisclosed additional fees, placement fees, or sign additional refinancing contracts," the lawsuit states. "Teachers who are unable to pay the required installment of around $400 per month are subject to late fees." The company filed lawsuits in 2019 against eight teachers, alleging breach of contract, in cases set for trials before juries. The lawsuit also alleges that Filipino job applicants signed financing agreements without knowledge of their future salaries. The lawsuit also says the recruitment company may have relied on Janice Bickert's husband, George Bickert, in his position as the superintendent of Ruidoso's public school district to "create legitimacy" for the company. adverts.addToArray("pos":"inread_player")Advertisement
