    One of the shops near me throws out so much fresh bakery stuff every day that after collecting and redistributing it to poor single mothers and refugees there’s still enough left over to provide me and 4 others with breakfast and lunch every day. Businesses overproduce and then throw away the excess to protect their profits, it has nothing to do with inventory.

      Them days I was living off 10-20 bucks a week, the “bread man” saved me. One grocery around here (place has a union I might add) would send all the weeks leftover bakery items around in a van, making a stop at the rooming house I lived. The fucking bread man was such a welcome sight!
