As a merchandiser, I often have to destroy what looks like good products all the time. It sickened me to throw out a hundred or more boxes of Cheerios one day, but something was wrong. Most stores do that to take the full writeoff of the product against their taxes and avoid the "which charity" to give them too. It is sad. I'd rather them put it in a clearance bag and sell it if nothing else. Another thing that bothers me - her in Florida, there are hundreds of orange trees that are full of fruit and the fruit is rotting on the ground because no one can pick it and enjoy it. Something needs to be done to stop this wasteage and find another solution to responsible waste disposal. Let's all speak up and see what we can do to stop this!!!!!! Just my opinion for what its worth.
