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.

Crazy !!!
How many were legit?
NYC has a boatload of regulations, zoning issues, etc. They are all part of the law that police are sworn to enforce. So whether you like the rule or not, they are “legit”. New York City culture.
Libs
only in America that is so crazy…how about the people in that city that are staving….this is government at its very worse…what is next ..the amount of toilet paper sheets you can use to wipe your ASS

Government in action. This is why small businesses are having a hard time staying in business.
That is so sinful…..to waste such food when so many are in need of it!!!!
