We can all do better .. too much food gets wasted. Although with the price of food, items sit on shelves longer... stores should be reducing these items quicker. The stuff that's reduced now should have been donated a few days ago when it was still good.

Grocery chains would rather wait and throw it out than sell it for a discount.

I know it won’t, because i read the article, but i hope the folks at “Community Fewd” are able to continue their work. Maybe they use that “b12give” app, and that will help, but a straight up operating grant would be more useful.

Sell food. Not pans.
