My local Kroger meat manager tells me he throws away more meat than he sells. The dairy department finally gets to putting out the premium dairy like half and half and real cream two days before its shelf expiring date. Then they throw all that away too. Then the shelves sit empty for two weeks.
The do-gooders on the Left like to complain about how much food is wasted in America. But they don’t seem to realize that a lot of the overly cautious practices that result in wasted food are driven by “brilliant ideas” from the do-gooders on the Left who want to keep us all perfectly safe.
