Thank you for bringing up the wasted food-rules is not the same out here in BFE-there is no Nazi network-so it is common for the owners of restaurants and food stalls at the weekend market to give away the leftover bread, veggie and fruit items at the end of the day. Much of it goes to folks like me and my neighbors who keep a few chickens, a couple of goats, etc-heads of iceberg lettuce are most coveted-but I’m sure some gets consumed by humans as well. Better to give away to someone than waste food...
And yes, I did mean to say “is” for emphasis on the difference between a city and we uncivilized people in the hinterlands...
It’s nice to know there are places in the USA that don’t have busybody health Nazis looking for germs everywhere. Unfortunately, under that idiot Bloomberg, we could no longer give well-prepared food to soup kitchens. Or even to animal shelters!
