gogul: i will agree with you on one bit of that post
i was once at my local council incinerater dropping of things that where to big for normal refuse collection and i noticed large vans comming in and dumping their loads of cakes biscuits etc having done some work with the homeless so asked one of the drivers why they were doing this and his reply amazed me they had a couple of days left on them before sell by date expired and it was cheaper and easier to dump them than to gave them to the local homeless charities
Imsoaddicted: I thin also they have to consider how long it'll take to get to the homeless people... It can be an additional waste on energy (fuel,etc) transferring food around on the hope they might get it those who need it.
Shame.. but sometimes it's just not economic or safe to donate some food products.
Imsoaddicted: EU laws!! But smart local shops know their customers and as I mentioned before will apply common sense and give to their regulars what they know is safe.
It's worked good for us... each month I recon it's given us about £20 in still good products.
