      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.

          Can confirm that at least Target donates a LOT of food in my area, source being I was on the logistics team and literally watched trucks taking stuff to the food bank
