dumping perfectly fine clothing while poor people go without.

There are naked poor people? Not a sight to see as most poor people in America are fat. We've gone overboard on the charity, to the point of incentivizing people to be poor.

“There are naked poor people? Not a sight to see as most poor people in America are fat. We’ve gone overboard on the charity, to the point of incentivizing people to be poor.”
My example was not a literal one, but a figurative one that most people accept. I agree that many impoverished people in the United States are overweight, and clothed, but the general perception of a large company dumping unused clothing that the public would otherwise have to pay for, sits uneasily on most Americans. In my opinion, the companies can do what they like with unsold clothing, but it has the same effect on people that deliberately spoiled crops had during the Depression.It seems rash and wasteful.
