Starting Monday, Austin restaurants and food businesses have to come up with alternatives to tossing extra food in the trash.

Apparently the People's Socialist Kakistocracy of Austin believes it can overrule the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Interesting. I just looked up the Second Law of Thermodyamics and I don’t quite get your conclusion. Can you please elaborate?

“Homeless shelter food poisoning cases in 3, 2, 1...”
Exactly why none of that food will go to feeding the homeless. Composting companies aren’t as likely to sue the restaurants.

Most restaurants would give food to shelters and the needy but the liability issues are almost insurmountable to overcome.

And when they donate the food the health department will fine them or shut them down.

My girlfriend’s late father used to pay her cousins a buck each when they were little to go with him to dumpster dive at the grocery stores and restaurants for hog feed.
