    you fixed nothing maybe where you live thats how it works but here in tejas we follow food safety rules as well as donated unsold produce to our local foodbanks and shelters. if that isnt how your community works then i hope you get to experience it firsthand. i have and without those good folks deeds we wouldve starved to death a long time ago.

      Have worked in grocery stores, it just gets thrown out. The level of food waste in the United States is legitimately stomach churning.

        In France it is illegal to throw food out. It has to go to the homeless or those stores will get fined.

        You do know most people don’t live in the US, right?
