That’s true, but even freezing it was too much chicken!
I suppose if we were starving I would do that.
I did make it one time with a pizza crust, left out the leak and added some Italian sausage. That was good also. Very strong flavors!
In most places, you aren’t trespassing if it isn’t posted, or you aren’t told to get off.
Also, it’s not illegal unless you’re caught.
Should you try it on them? Sure, but it would be a good idea for it not to be the ‘main’ dish. Go for it.
Interesting advice, and it’s a real shame that so much food is wasted.
The “please kick this” at the end tells me it might have been pulled from DU. FWIW.
Don't hold back.

Both of those statment are BS and you know it! If not, you had better git your property posted.
Last year they also kept the jumbos and sold them to a potato chip producer. Smaller sweet potato farmers harvest everything and sell them according to size and grade, from #1's to canners, which are the small or oddly shaped, that will be cut and canned. They can't afford the waste.
You are correct though ... if people only realized.
I found this out after asking if I could have it for my chickens.

There is not one single person in the United States too poor to eat well.
Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
Food is a basic right for anybody who wants to earn it.
2 Thess 3:10
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
KJV
Note that it says "would not"; not CAN NOT.
Your first statement wouldn't hold water in any court. The second statement is so absurd, it's almost Clinton-esque.
Where I came from, they called that "coon hunting"!
A lot of the jobs have been small.
However, I will say this: From past experience, not everyone is to be trusted.
But, one man in particular, is the son of a deceased friend of ours. If we needed him in the middle of the night, he'd be here.
Besides the lack of work for people who are not slackers, we are hearing that these low interest rates have cut into the dividends of seniors. They are having a hard time stretching their money - and don't you think the government knows it ...
To go back even further, my parents used to tell stories from the Depression about *rent parties*. The people who needed rent money would make a huge pot of spaghetti, everyone who could would bring something and there was a jar for the rent. If you could put something in, you did. If you had nothing, you could still come and eat.
For those looking to stretch their money as far as possible, try Aldi’s. It looked to me like small canner lines. The expiration dates were all good, sometimes 18 months out for beets or potatoes. The paper goods are perhaps one step down from Sam’s Members Mark line, but as cheap as you’ll find...TP starting at about .40/roll, for example. Some items were the same as Walmart, others matched brand name sales in other stores in the area that week. Some were obviously good deal special purchases. Produce was so-so; price and quality is much better at one of the local grocery stores. But for canned goods and paper and cleaning aids like vinegar, it was as cheap and as good for the price as I have seen. No bags, a refundable quarter for the cart and, since I was told it was cash only, that’s what I did, but I saw some state subsidy cards being used. I will go back, now that I have an idea of their inventory and prices. I will also try and check out the specials when I have a chance. Mostly frozen dinner items, like pizza, but maybe 1/3 off the discount grocery stores. I think they are owned by the same people who own Trader Joe’s.

Sorry for the double. Hiccups,
Dad taught us how to garden, even using the alley for growing okra. He taught us how to call up quail and shoot them with a .22.
I remember my Grandmother churning butter in the kitchen at her house out in the piney woods of East Texas. We'd go get eggs from the chicken coop every day.
I try to instill these things in my kids (daughter 9, son 7). I want them to be indepentant as we were taught. My brothers and I are a generation from the past. I wish more were...
