MODERATORS
This really should be the first go-to.
Old goods? Assign liability to the food bank and let them handle sorting.
Tossing perfectly edible food in the trash because it's no longer pretty and (acknowledging) I won't buy it, it is just insane.
I try to buy bruised food when I can because I know others won't. a wrinkly bell pepper, cucumber, or zucchini will be exactly the same once I chop it up and put it in my meal.
this has "green m&m, blue m&m, they all end up the same color" energy and i love it.
In the US, both the business and the food bank are already shielded from liability. It's been that way for 30 years.
I absolutely agree. I wasn't trying to defend the company's practice. Just explaining why they make those kind of decisions.
