The sight of food can make you eat more than you need, especially if you don’t know what your limits should be. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cite multiple recent studies that determined that, when faced with larger food portions, people ate more, without even realizing it.
About 40 percent of the food produced in the United States isn’t consumed. Every day Americans waste enough food to fill the Rose Bowl!
Almost half the world, over three billionpeople live on less than $2.50 a day. Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. Some 1.1 billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to water.
Enter Halfsies
Halfsies exists to offer restaurant-goers a choice that, in turn, provides a healthier meal portion, significantly reduces food waste, and supports the fight against hunger and poverty. Halfsies turns the simple act of dining out into a charitable giving opportunity. When an individual chooses to ‘go halfsies’ at a participating restaurant, he or she receives a half-portion of their meal while still paying full price. A portion of the meal price goes toward helping others in need.
