the bread is real. what you arent seeing is the removal of the unsold products that are almost certainly being donated to homeless shelters and hog farmers, then replaced with fresh loaves the next day. there are fda rules in place to prevent leaving such products out more than a couple days.

    you fixed nothing maybe where you live thats how it works but here in tejas we follow food safety rules as well as donated unsold produce to our local foodbanks and shelters. if that isnt how your community works then i hope you get to experience it firsthand. i have and without those good folks deeds we wouldve starved to death a long time ago.

    Have worked in grocery stores, it just gets thrown out. The level of food waste in the United States is legitimately stomach churning.

    And not even just thrown out: it’s usually intentionally damaged so it can’t be eaten

    Arizona it's literally considered illegal to dumpster dive anywhere inside of a curb and yet they still also pour bleach on the tossed food at grocery stores to "dissuade" people.

    So you can be arrested if you survive being poisoned.

    HEB is the only native grocery store in Texas that matters, and they make sure they recover 95% of the food that isn't fit for human consumption by getting it to farms and such. They also, separately, are involved in food bank and other human wellness activities, including running logistics for hurricane relief (as an example).

    HEB is too good for Texas.

    In France it is illegal to throw food out. It has to go to the homeless or those stores will get fined.

    You do know most people don't live in the US, right?

    In the capitalists west, there are only small grassroots projects doing this. Most volume of that stuff goes straight in padlocked trash when best before is met
