Young Australian diners have been identified as the biggest food wasters as they were too bashful to ask to take their leftovers home.
According to a survey commissioned by Unilever Food Solutions, 26 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds admitted that they were too embarrassed to ask for a doggy bag when dining out, which is one of the main contributing factors to the 8 billion dollars worth of edible food thrown out every year by Australians, News.com.au reported.
The survey also revealed that Tasmanians are the most embarrassed of any state when asking for restaurant leftovers with 22 percent confessing that they wouldn't ask for a doggy bag, even when they wanted one.
