Why Doggie Bags Are Worth Taking Home

Unlike our American counterparts, it's fair to say the doggie bag hasn't exactly taken off in Britain

. Perhaps it's the social stigma associated with being stingy that puts us off, larger sized portions in the States, or maybe it's just not convenient to carry your meal home. Whatever the case, there are loads of reasons why you should bother picking a doggie bag up. We've rounded up some benefits of saving your leftover scraps.

Statistics from 2010 show that each year, UK restaurants waste 600,000 tons of food and 22 tons per venue with about a third of waste coming from customers leftovers. In a world where millions of people are starving, its fair to say that these numbers are downright irresponsible.

If the facts dont encourage you to conserve every last drop of your meal, and you still dont fancy reheating it for lunch the next day, perhaps there are other reasons to order a doggie bag for your excess food. Whether its a hungry child at home or a flatmate whos never tried chicken cordon bleu before, dont forget that it always pays to share. If youre still on the fence about the concept, give it to the needy and brighten up that homeless mans day on your walk home from dinner. Even if barnaise sauce isnt his thing, its probably fair to say his dog wont be picky.

If you cant think of anyone whod want your extras, asking for a doggie bag is also a savvy way to shed pounds as you can easily limit your portion sizes, and save the rest for a later date. If youre tucking into a multi-course meal, its a good idea to ask for a box beforehand by splitting your main in half. This means youll have more room for dessert while consuming less calories at the same time. Click here for great offers on a meal out from MyVoucherCodes.
