fixed that for you :)
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.
And not even just thrown out: it’s usually intentionally damaged so it can’t be eaten
Arizona it's literally considered illegal to dumpster dive anywhere inside of a curb and yet they still also pour bleach on the tossed food at grocery stores to "dissuade" people.
So you can be arrested if you survive being poisoned.
