It's happened before and it's absolute madness. How unhealthy is starving to death?

Oh, Lord. The only thing more stupid than this kind of regulation is the fact that people like this can't see the bad PR that's about to smack them in the face while they are implementing their idiocy.

Having worked several days at the intake for Freestore Food Bank, I can tell you they are pretty stringent on expiration dates at least. They exceed the manufacturers' dates, but by a formula they know to be safe. To ban donations like this for this reason is just plain stupid. And yes, they are about to get hit with a tsunami of bad PR, deservedly so.

A big part of what a big group of us do, is distribute donated food to the homeless shelters.. from groceries, restaurants, bakeries.

So many people are able to eat.. the network is involved, compassionate and extensive with many 1/2 way house, shelters and cooperatives involved. in many municipalities. HArvesters for instance is just a small part and perhaps the most regulated because the foodstuffs are 'new'.

NY should be ashamed.. how absurd.
