Doggy Bags Are Not For Dogs

Cdn

For a country who loves super-sized meals and free refills on their drinks, it is no wonder that some customers will not be able to finish their order. In comes the “doggy bag” where leftover food is placed to be brought home to be consumed later that day or the next day. The “doggy bag” was coined into existence in the 1940s during the time of war and economic crisis, that pet owners are forced to bring home leftover food to save money. But our modern day “doggy bags” are no longer for dogs, but for humans. This practice is so unique in the US that laws had to be passed in other countries to allow the use of “doggy bags” to lessen food waste. Not one to go out?
