I do not know if safefood is involved in the initiative with some supermarkets in which food which is just past its sell-by date is taken for use. It is still safe to take and it is a good thing to do this as the wastage of food is terrible. The Healthy Ireland survey came out yesterday. In all our constituencies, not least my constituency of Dublin Central, some parts of the community are much more unhealthy and more liable to smoke, to binge-drink and to be overweight. There is a lot of room for education in this area and a need to increase awareness.
