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 agree with you. I was just pointing it out because people don't realize how much food is wasted because of certain laws or liability factors.

I agree, the waste thing is unbelievable. Especially banquet waste...I've had occasion to work around a few banquets, and everything that comes back to the kitchen goes in the dumpster - everything...UNOPENED bottles of wine. Their logic is "it's paid for." It's heartbreaking to see all that food thrown out. Some restaurants actually do call food pantries; I'm sure the laws vary from place to place. So sad that because we're so quick to sue, many fear doing a good thing.
