So much food is being thrown out for no good reason!
I've been very angry since the beginning of this strike. Not just because I feel the workers have been done wrong, but because SO much food is being WASTED! I've said since the first week that the stores should give their food to the homeless since it's just going to go bad.
I was glad to see that the channel 9 news brought this up today. They interviewed a man who works next door to an Albertsons store. He said that a big garbage truck has been coming in just to pick up food to throw out and it's been that was since the 2nd day of the strike.
That is insane! It's bad enough that these big corporations want to screw their workers over and this just shows them as being even WORSE.
There is NO reason for them NOT to give the food away. It's just them being GREEDY. The food is bruised or about to spoil so it won't make them any profit anyway and they choose to not give it to people who are starving and really need it! That is TERRIBLE!!!
I realize that's they way it's been even BEFORE this strike but with the excessive amounts of food being wasted now it's just too much!
Please contact the grocery stores and let them know how you feel about this. Tell them that they should give this food to the people who really need it instead of throwing it out.
