The Big Apple is throwing away fresh apples, lettuce, and fresh produce of all kinds, with the police standing by watching sanitation pick up the crates of fresh food from outside shops and toss them into the trash trucks.
With 60,096 homeless in New York City, why is perfectly edible food being thrown away, when the hungry should be fed?
Why is the food confiscated from benders and businesses and tossed? The food police… the insane, “fanatical code enforcement”, has put the NYCPD on improper produce patrol. The code says that if crates of food are more than four feet outside the store, it must be tossed.
That’s exactly what the cops should be cleaning up, right? Forget gangs, drugs, prostitution… focus on tossing out improperly placed food. Food that could help nourish the hungry and the homeless.

The political leanings of the Mayor are…Socialist. Go Sanders!
This is so utterly wrong, I am left speechless.
SHAMEFUL, WASTEFUL and truly INSANE. Who is behind this?
One of these days we will be without because of such things.
THIS IS THE BEST THING LIBERALS DO—- WASTE AND SCREW PEOPLE.
not even surprised
don’t forget the ambulance chasing lawyers who are so eager to sue
This food couldn’t have gone to homeless veterans or to a shelter. It had to go in the garbage.
Farmers, ranchers, and anyone else having to do with producing food, busted their$#%&!@*and bottom line to help feed people, and this is the thanks they get. Not sure I want to be a part of this culture anymore.
