Question: What do grocery stores do with fruits and vegetables that are going bad? [View All]

[Mike 03]

There must he hundreds if not thousands of pounds of produce that go bad each week at the average grocery store. (And maybe meat too). Does anyone know what happens to all of that? It would be absolutely scandalous if it were thrown in the rubbish.

I am seeing more and more people on the streets here begging for money for food. I'd be shocked if we had less than 15% unemployment in my town. Do you think the food that is near expiration is used in some good way?

Just curious.
