Czech restaurants throw out tons of food every day. Many would like to give it away to the needy but strict health norms prevent that. Now a restaurant in Louny, north-west of Prague, has launched its own –somewhat drastic –battle against leftovers, telling guests to “eat up –or pay up.” People can pile as much as they want onto their plate but they have to eat up – or else get a 50 crown fine added to their bill.
