Here's an incredibly brilliant idea for a rationalist startup! You know how it is when you've got too much food, like a cheesecake or something, that your guests didn't finish or whatever, and your brain refuses to throw it out because you don't want it to be wasted, but you don't want to have to eat it all either? This startup would have a registry of polite, well-dressed, grateful, hungry people in your vicinity, who'll come over and eat it for you - there in ten minutes or your money back! SunkMunch.com - "We eat your food, now!" YC '13, here we come!
A simpler solution: contrive to get on the mailing list for graduate students at a local university.
One case of food poisoning and you'd be sued to Kingdom Come.
Apparently it's even an issue for City Harvest, which distributes leftovers to the poor.
Truly is it said that all real innovation is illegal.
In this case not illegal, just not terribly well incentivized.
Dress for success! (Or at least dress for food. Right. "Undress for food" has been done before.)
Or you could have a 45-minute class on throwing away food. Doesn't seem like a difficult skill to train.
fun idea. alternatives: workplace, or, depending on your courage and environment, neighbors.
