That's because someone just defecated on them.

So can we now refer to the homeless as “freegans who are living outside of capitalist consumerism, trying to live a lifestyle where there is no exchange of capital”?

The Chinese follow the same philosophy, however, when providing consumable foods for mass distribution, policies are made for good reason.

Isn’t it amazing how bread will begin to mold precisely the day it is labeled as such by the bakery, or pasteurized milk sours within several hours of when its expiration label is so posted?

Then we can get back to our great grandmother’s common sense when they had to live without refrigeration and only natural preservatives. Storing some fruits after preserving them and digging out a root cellar.

Some pies and pastries were left out to cool and kept exposed to open air while others were sealed.

My biggest heartburn isn’t with large producers using preservatives, as much as it is with local regulators insisting Barbeque must be produced in Stainless Steal ovens with rotesseries, and liquid smoke added for flavoring, if sold to the public. Some things are better when local ingenuity and hard proven effort yields quality results,...like Texan BarBQ compared to Californian grilled meat.

‘“People don’t really understand the scale at which grocery stores are wasting food and the way it’s built into their way of doing business,” Barnard explained. “Grocery stores throw out hundreds of pounds of perfectly good food every day just because slightly blemished fruit or dented cans [don’t] fit into their view of perfect capitalistic abundance.”’

This interesting part of this statement is that he doesn’t realize government mandates to ensure non-spoilage of food are at work here, not “perfect capitalistic abundance”.

Hm so no one’s going to point out that he’s nothing more than a parasite living off of the capitalists he despises so much?

What if everyone were like him, and refused to produce?

Better yet, what if they just started a compost pile in the backyard, or fed the scraps to the dog?

“Grocery stores throw out hundreds of pounds of perfectly good food every day just because slightly blemished fruit or dented cans [don’t] fit into their view of perfect capitalistic abundance.” they would be sued if they sold it and sued if they gave it away by nasty little twits like me.

There, now the statement is correct.
