Dumped Milk, Smashed Eggs, Plowed Vegetables: Food Waste of the Pandemic

I'm sure a lot of this food could be stored for later use. You could maybe have the government buy up the food and put it into storage for distribution later.

It’s fresh food, how long do you think my diary and vegetables last? Especially given there are more crops that will mature...so ok, they store the yield from the past two weeks, what happens with the yield from the next two weeks?

It's almost like we should be nationalizing everything as supply chains are turned on their heads

It moves like clockwork and once something messes with a gear it all fukks up

Don’t look into farming it’s gross a bunch of animals and plants super bred for this

If you do want to look google KFC Chicken they literally created a chicken that grows fast with big thighs and big breast that is basically hairless

No donating, dehydrating, or whatever...

it says in the article they donated some.

Many farmers say they have donated part of the surplus to food banks and Meals on Wheels programs, which have been overwhelmed with demand. But there is only so much perishable food that charities with limited numbers of refrigerators and volunteers can absorb.

Capitalism.

This is consumerism, people run their wallets ragged over eating

This is consumerism, people run their wallets ragged over eating

The consumers aren't the ones dumping perfectly good food. This food is being wasted deliberately because giving it to the needy would hurt capitalists' profits.
