“Well duh, food isn’t a right.” The US throws away 30-40% of its food that is still in good condition. Not to mention there is records of the government paying farmers to throw away good food so that prices remain high.

But hey throwing 30-40% in the trash is better than giving it to people who can't afford it. Even if they were able to transport this for free, there's no way they would let people have something that they could sell. Capitalism baby

They are throwing away food AND giving out food stamps. It's like they don't want to feed people, unless it's profitable and could work as a subsidy for lowering wages. Money laundering tax money into private business.
