    Or just the fact that grocery stores throw away thousands of tons of perfectly edible food every day while there are people dying of malnutrition. They aren’t starving, they are being starved.

      If memory serves right the grocery store thing isn’t even the fault of the grocers. It’s regulators due to the fact there was a couple high profile instances of handing bad food to food banks to abuse the tax deductions.

        Nope. For example, at closing time, they throw away all the baked goods and get new ones tomorrow because otherwise they wouldn’t be able to advertise them as “freshly baked”.
