New App wants you to eat your Neighbor's leftover food/Vows to solve food waste

Part of the story reads:

While the intention is good, the promises made on the app’s website are grandiose, to say the least. After listing relevant statistics, LeftoverSwap vows to solve the problems of food waste, obesity, malnutrition, and social isolation all in one go. This could be tongue-in-cheek, but the earnest and emphatic website copy makes me think otherwise.

Additionally, the potential benefits of this app are limited to those fortunate enough to have an Apple mobile device. In a chat with the Huffington Post, Newman said, “There is hunger in the United States. Do these people have iPhones? Maybe not. But we’re hoping to test this with iOS and potentially reach out to other platforms.” But even if LeftoverSwap spreads to other platforms, the problem remains: the only people swapping leftovers will be those with smartphones.

It's a good thought, but I don't think it will work. I would not feel comfortable eating someone else's food they might of eaten out of. Proably being to picky, but I would pass.
