This same thing plays out at many major food banks countrywide.

Find out where the manufacturer’s warehouses and production plants actually are, and the nearest large food banks will be the recipients of their trash.

Tax write off of retail value (donated retail product), instead of tax write off of actual cost. I wouldn’t be surprised if the writeoff is net zero for them from retail value.

Amazon perishables are mostly whole foods. The UNFI cyberattack is going to cause likely hundreds of tons of spoiled product nationwide as they have no idea where to ship anything, and the production line doesn’t just stop having fresh product to process.

I don’t think restaurants are going to want hundreds of pounds of product at the very end of life in terms of freshness. This is the product the manufacturer couldn’t sell to a store for various reasons.

This is because if something goes bad from the food you give away the business will get sued for not having cold chain verification or a quality department to make sure the food was not altered in any way. Warehouses (aka ‘distribution centers’) typically have that kind of process, but retailers do not as Quality department employee salaries are typically several times what retail employees make, and often substantially higher than department managers, shift managers, and other low level retail management roles.

this has nothing to do with churches.

This is companies maximizing their tax deduction by donating at retail value instead of writing off the loss of actual cost.

The branding is one aspect, they definitely publicize the food bank donations and it’s often one of the few things food manufacturers do that sounds good. The rest is just profit and employing mass contract labor at near minimum wage.

If they threw out thousands of pounds of product it would look like a bad number if publicized… if they donate ten thousand pounds of tomatoes a couple days before they go bad they get to look like they donated ten thousand pounds of tomatoes in value, and then they get to write that off as a donation.

I’m pretty sure when they do said “donations” they get to write off the retail value, whereas if they just wrote it off as a loss to the business it would only be the actual cost.

They do this because they can write off the “donation” (e.g. garbage disposal)

All of this produce was going to go bad, they know what date it’s going bad, but they overproduce or customers cancelled orders or under ordered.

UNFI, the massive breached company, is going to have this same thing play out across the board from product wasting away in their warehouse.

they were literally fleeing religious persecution. Why would they bake religion into what they were creating?

Because everyone thinks their opinions are the right ones.

Someone persecuting you doesn’t mean you’ll go somewhere else and not persecute others who are not on your side.

Foundation is pretty excellent as well.

I go with the path of least resistance for top quality. I don’t think a subscription can give you this.

Welcome to how the world works. I promise it gets worse as you look around.

Humans are evil.

Do you believe in the power of a curse?

I know quite a few spanish speaking people here who are hyper conservative. In general latin america is a greatly more conservative place than the US, so it’s kind of amazing seeing the conservatives here targeting them.

Poorer immigrants usually work in conservative spaces for poverty wages especially if they are not fluent in English, but the conservatives want to kick them out and start the white breeding programs to get some more white homegrown poverty cases going in red states.

Why these people absolutely hate this one guy is completely indeterminable.

it’s like the only thing dumpy really wants is to never be told no, regardless of how wrong his mistake is.

He’s certainly old enough to be significantly impacted by mental decline. Some have it happen much earlier than others.

“Everything is everyone else’s fault! Why can’t everyone see that my way is better for me and my interests?!?!?!”

Sorry donnie, we do see it.

They do not understand and the understanding they have has been formed with propaganda for decades.

American politics has been so far from it’s idealistic roots in democracy and supplanted by the wealthy for decades if not a century or longer. Allowing businesses to fund campaigns openly in the 70s has to have been a big tipping point and why we have allowed it is bizarre to me. We have basically no media today that isn’t highly politicized one way or another. Bezos has altered his media to fit whatever party furthers it’s business goals… like most oligarch owned businesses following suit whether or not they are media.

I don’t think things can be changed anymore though. I think pandora’s box opened at some point and it can’t be shut again without tearing civilization down.
