I've tried to get the groceries to give me the produce they toss out in the trash (perfectly good to eat in most cases) for the wildlife I have and also for my birds in the winter. They insist it's `against the law' to do this as they can't take the chance that I will go home, eat it myself and get sick. Funny how nothing seems to happen to big corporations when they poison us with food that we've PAID for.
I did manage to shame a local grocery into giving me what they toss after I signed a paper stating that I was a licensed wildlife rehabilitator (had to show my licenses) and what my intent for the food was. Evidently, this gets them off the hook although I'd venture to say, anyone eating `garbage' and getting sick would not have a case to begin with. My guess is that they just don't want hungry people hanging around begging for food.
We waste so much of everything in this country :(
