Thanks for putting a spotlight on them.

I have never been in the back storeroom of a grocery store, so I am really shocked to hear of all the waste of perfectly good food. This is so irresponsible that I cannot comprehend it. Then I go further and think......the produce that is a little beyond useful for humans would have been fed to the livestock years ago, and now we raise food specifically for the livestock as well.

It is shameful.

Good point. A lot of the produce, if "edgy" for home use could go to livestock. pinto Feb 2014 #2
