>> Agreed. Like dumping perfectly good food into the dumpster. It’s not like there aren’t organizations and distribution networks to take these goods off their hands. Our tax code has been designed to encourage charity even on the part of business. No excuse. <<
I worked at McD growing up and they would throw away food for liability reasons.... They even had to lock their dumpster area for liability reasons, the main problem is Lawyers....
“Buyer Beware” and “Free Stuff, Beware Even More”
Considering lawyers and the litigious society today, I can see the liablity excuse, BUT, arrangements could be made with local shelters, etc, that would have them release the merchants of liabilty when goods are donated. I can’t imagine too many shelters or food banks that would not go for that.
Corporately, lawyers would be out of the mix altogether and people would have the goods instead of the landfills. It could be done.
