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.”
Can we just discuss junk food because I feel we are getting away from a problem that need to be addressed. Junk food is made to stay shelf stable and puts a lot of chemicals that can be harmful to the metabolism cycle and doesn't even make you feel full, unless you want to filled with guilt. Give me a banana and lettuce pls. But those "quality" ingredients are only sold to people who can afford them. Poor people are oppressed into making the decision between affordable or healthy. And then grocery stores throw out the fresh produce because no one bought it, please make it make sense. Why is capitalism like this? Rhetorical question: Capitalism is socialism for the rich and brutality for the poor
What grocery store throws away fresh produce? I worked in the industry for 15 years. We donated out of date everything to food banks and kitchens to be used within the week.
When I was younger and I worked at a grocery store we definitely threw away produce threw away all the recycling and throw away bad meat and all the bakery stuff nothing was donated... Fear of liability I think is there BS reasoning
Bad meat for sure. We are talking edible food here.
MEAT and produce i understand, and eggs. but canned or jarred food, nah. or even bagged chips.
Bagged chips went back to the vendor, same with bread. Never saw canned or jarred food thrown out. One time the found a bunch of very expired frozen meals behind fresher frozen meals. I saw those go in the garbage
