A Twitter post by Fuckin’ Princess @8WithaTiara that reads “Everybody talking about how poor people shouldn’t be able to buy junk food on food stamps… Well, I don’t think billionaires oughta be able to buy 14-year-olds on private islands… But here we are.”

    I understand but I have never witnessed it and have several colleagues across the country. As a distribution center it is different than the farmers. The farmers definitely dispose of things and reports of that can easily be found.

      Oh I didn’t mean ‘end of the line’ to come off as though I have experience in the food industry. I’ve worked in waste disposal at end point facilities and have seen all what the grocers toss away on a daily basis.

      Thousands of apples rolling out of a truck is a surreal sight. It looks like a physics simulation on a high end computer. The first few times I almost found myself in awe. At least until I remembered where it was happening.

      Don’t get me wrong, most organic waste being disposed of was spoiled, but a truck or two a day of edible food was typical.
