not nutritonal- but along the line of your grrr; my dd used to work at a coffee shop- high end- and at the end of the week any coffee, no matter the type, had to be thrown out when the bins were emptied, cleaned and refilled. some of that coffee was $50.00 a lb; others @ maybe 7-10 a lb. my point is all that, and produce from stores across our nation could be helping folks in need. and we realize there are a lot of folks in need nowadays.
