Tired old Rooster
Songster
We are destroyed by our own success. I made friends with one of the ladies, whose Dad owns the supermarket I shop at. She has no problem giving me veggies that no one will buy anymore because they are iffy looking. They get to have a good customer who faithfully shops with them, the chooks get tasty stuff that is not bad, the lawyers get no work. In America, the lawyers are killing you.The problem, I suppose, is in the logistics and labor costs of handling it.
And keeping it free of packaging, etc.
We throw out a shocking amount of food at the grocery store where I work, but I can't imagine how it could possible be salvaged because it would require special handling, extra refrigeration, etc.
And farmers would sue if anything was spoiled and made their animals sick.
