There may be laws against that. A lot of restaurants can't donate left over food in many circumstances.

Yeah, you're probably right. Besides, all that rich & fattening food...Shrimp, Ahi Tuna, White Chocolate Mousse, would have the leftist Milwaukee Food Police there in a heartbeat, LOL! You can't just feed ANY old thing to hungry people, you know. You've got to comply with the government-contrived Food Pyramid and all that rot. *Rolleyes*

I, however take whatever free bread and foodstuffs I can find around town. (For myself or to give to my chickens.) In fact, I got $28 worth of free Panera breads this week, just for the taking. :)

This country is wasteful and silly. I'm living proof that there is enough to go around for all. *Steps Down Off Soapbox*

Not upset with you, Nick. I'm just angry about the waste I see around me every day...be it some stupidity as in this article, or just everyday businesses failing to plan ahead so there's not so much waste.

That's my story and I'm stickin' with it. Hunger goes beyond politics IMHO, however the left has completely co-opted it for their own personal & political gain.

Ok. I'm done now, LOL! :)

I think it's due more to possible lawsuits than laws.

SDomeone has a contract to supply the daily food to homeless shelters. Free food would interupt their profits, hence the laws.
