Well it's not wasting exactly . I mean, it's best before , which means that for a business ( which a grocery store is ) you want to sell the best products to your customers. You don't want them to complain that some of your food was bad because they would shop elsewhere .
As for throwing them out , well i hear people say all the time that they should give it to the homeless. I disagree with this because , the food isn't good enough to give to customers , but they want to give it to homeless people. As if homeless people are lesser than customers ( regular people that aren't down on their luck ). If you are going to give to the poor , don't give them junk .
While you could argue that homeless would be more than glad to have it, if it really okay to give them trash just because they would accept it when you could very well give them better items?
Anyways that's how i feel about it .
I've been homeless and starving, I woulda been more than happy to take that shit, cuz guess what, feeling a constant empty energy draining pain in your gut constantly, because you can only periodically find food, and are currently eating like 2-3 small meals(see just enough to fill a bowl) every week, if you're lucky.
And do you see those stores giving away any of their sellable stuff? NO, you don't because they are a business, and cash is king.
