STOP WAL-MART & FOOD STORES FROM WASTING FOOD

Target:
There are poor people in every TOWN in every STATE
Sponsored by: 
There is to much food waste in every local food store, in every town, in every state.  Thousands of dollars worth of food is being thrown in to the garbage while there are starving people all over the world.  There are poor people in your town who probably can't afford three meals a day...Help them by saving the thrown away food from stores across AMERICA!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this...I know that a lot of you probably have a busy schedule. 
I want to be able to convince you that there is a BIG waste of food in our country.  I have worked for McDonald's and Wal-Mart...McDonald's one of the biggest MONEY making restaurants in America and Wal-Mart probably the largest grocery store in America.  Yet FOOD WASTE seems to mean NOTHING at all to people who are making money, have one of the largest chains of stores in America and other countries, and who use FOOD WASTE as a write off every year.
Yet, There are starving people all over the world.  There are poor people in every corner, of every town, of every state in America and other Countries.  But yet who cares?!?!?!  I eat three times a day...Not my lose!  We need to stop and consider that its not easy growing a farm, selling farm food and then to just see it thrown in the trash in a very few hours.  We need to start giving this THROWN AWAY FOOD to people who are poor and don't have much.  Places like Wal-Mart and your local food stores need to be told that they NEED to STOP WASTING.
Let them know!!!!  If everyone, in every town, in America would let their stores know how they feel about it than something will be done!!

Once again...Thanks for reading!!

Such a large and popular business should not be ruining their popularity by doing something as horrible as this. Another reason why I HATE and cannot stand Walmart. Their list of reason to go out of business keeps growing.

I have seen first hand from working in retail, the amount of quality food that's being tossed in dumpsters. Please pass this along to help feed so many unfortunate ppl. It WILL make a huge difference in so many lives.

We waste so much in our society. 2/3rds of energy we produce actually makes it to our outlets, on top of that the little energy that does make it and isn't lost in the transportation we waste here at home. Food, mass amounts of food is thrown out every day while many are sitting on the streets dreaming about a sandwhich. Our food waste situation is something that we can address now head on and so many would beniefit, not to mention our earth would greatly beniefit. Food not bombs, food shelters, Gleaners, and mannnny other organizations are out there! We just need to spread the word, start a chapter, why is habitat for humanity so well known and anti-food waste organizations not? I rather know my local food not bombs chapter is going to feed me a warm veggie meal twice a week than have a little shelter over my head that i worked my ass of for. -not to say habitat isn't a great organization, just that organizations that pass on wasted food is so much easier and can impact so many peoples lives.

PLEASE! Let's all work together to alleviate the desparate poverty in our country. Don't allow vested interests to stop us from getting badly needed food to the hungry. Liabil;ity is already prevented by theBill Emerson Good Samaratin Food Act, which mandates states to enact statutes to hold nonprofit agencies from liability, when donated food causes harm to recipients. Are all states on board?

Please consider sharing what you consider waste, with less fortunate people who would consider it a blessing. It would be an easy task, to find local charity organizations like "Meals on Wheels" to accept and reuse your unsalable produce and other food products; and it would likely be a tax-deductable donation. In these trying times, with escalating unemployment, we need your help more than ever. Walmart seems poised to be one of the retail institutions best prepared to weather this financial storm, and your assistance to the destitute could make an enormous difference to many individuals.

There are so many needy families in this area. The job market is glum and the needs are mighty. Please consider giving away this food to an organization that can distribute the food.

Ive been blessed when I was done and out a large grocery store in Minneapolis MN gave away bread every day of the week. It allowed me to budget for other things when I didnt have to buy bread. I see walmart and other big box stores throwing away so much. I wish we could stop them and maybe give to second harvest.

If all these stores can afford to waste all this food, then they can afford to give away food to starving people.

I know how much even small stores throw away as we have gone dumpster diving to feed our pigs that we raise.. It is truly a crime that stores can't just have an isle that is stocked with food they would otherwise throw out that night...In some countries I have heard they are allowing food markets to sell fruit & veggies a bit past there peek , But for lower prices in an attempt to help world hunger... In the USA I know it is more about probably the FDA an there rules an regs against re selling or giving stuff away but this really needs to change... Someday there might really be shortages not just to the poor but to all of us on food , And then where will we all be.

They really should look into to donating the food to a local church or some type of shelter. Its disgusting to think that all of that food goes into the garbage everyday when there are kids dying of hunger and people struggling to get by towards the end of the month!

Most products are good well past their expiration date. It's a waste to just throw it all out after its sell-by date when it's still perfectly good and there are plenty of people who need it.
