Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

These aren't rotten eggs
It's the point of the message.
Homeless and hungry people or financially strapped people with a home want things they can readily eat. I've already explained how the egg expiration process works.
Sell-By dates can also be used as a measurement for retailers to gauge when something is to expire by, especially perishables, such as baked pastries. They need to sell it by a certain date which is usually before the product expires. If they can't and the product is close to expiring, guess what? It's gotta go. That's how they work, as a retailer.
Besides, you've never gone to food shelves or food banks, have you? Bet not, because you're sounding entitled with your stupid comment. There will be some, not all, but some food banks and food shelves that will end up giving expired food to people in need. It is unintentionally inhumane to do and I wish they would stop doing that practice. As well as there is not enough public outcry to make retailers and whatnot reconsider their practices but then again, on a retailer's point of view, they don't want to be liable for making anyone sick or anything else.
I'd also know because I stock shit and I'm responsible for having to take things like dented cans because why would anyone reasonably buy a dented can much less, donate it? Liability is a thing and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
So you can take that comment and fucking shove it. Shows what your ass knows.
Lol
