Germany A man in distributing note boards in the form of pigs made of cardboard. On the in colloquially called "NSV pig" boards of the National Socialist People's Welfare Organization (NSV) was written down, which kitchen waste a pig can eat and which are not suitable: "I eat: wastes from potatoes, vegetables, salad and fruit [.. ] But no: chemicals, cleaning agents, spices [..] ". The boards urge the careful collection of the necessary waste that is collected by volunteers of the NSV and delivered to the Ernaehrungshilfswerks des Deutschen Volkes (food relief organization of the German people) (EHW). The EHW, an organization of the NSV, was assigned the task to collect kitchen and food waste from urban households and companies, unused till then, to use it as pig fattening in the agriculture and had built for this purpose several pigsties.
