Mehul Prajapati, an Indian-origin data scientist working at TD Bank in Canada, found himself at the center of controversy after a video surfaced showcasing his approach to acquiring "free food" from food banks designated for students in Canada.
In the viral video, Prajapati discussed his method of obtaining food from charity food banks meant to support students in Canadian colleges and universities. He displayed his haul, which included a variety of items like fruits, vegetables, pasta, and canned goods obtained from these food banks. The video quickly drew backlash online, with many expressing outrage at Prajapati's actions, highlighting that food banks are intended to assist individuals facing financial hardship, not to be exploited by those who are financially stable.
The swift and strong public response prompted TD Bank to take decisive action. An update shared by the same user who posted the video revealed that Prajapati had been terminated from his position at TD Bank. A screenshot of an email from the bank confirmed his dismissal, stating that Prajapati "no longer works at TD."
The incident sparked important discussions about ethics and the responsible use of resources meant for vulnerable populations. It emphasized the critical role of food banks in supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity, particularly during challenging economic times.
As the video continues to circulate online, it has prompted broader conversations about the appropriate use of charitable resources and the impact of unethical behavior on public trust. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding ethical standards and ensuring that resources are distributed equitably to those who genuinely need them.

My comment was serious.
Were these official, government food banks for students by law; or were the private entities that catered to students?
If it was the latter, he is a jerk but broke no law. To be fired over this seems to invite a lawsuit.
Not that I care much. Canofdog is a lost cause
