so grocery stores throw out shitload billions of tons of food every year, why don't they sell it to hog farmers? hogs can eat most anything, much of which humans cannot eat, and turn it into good quality meat. it's called slop for gently caress's sake. hell, they could just give it away to farmers in exchange for buying the pork that results at a slight premium. is this a stupid idea?

When I worked in the produce department of a supermarket our reason was that there was no way to tell whether the person was actually going to give it to their animals or if they were going to eat it themselves. If they ate it and got sick, the supermarket would be liable since they cannot sell food intended for human consumption which is not fit for eating. So you just have to tell em no and chuck it all away which I agree kind of sucks

So you just have to tell em no and chuck it all away which I agree kind of sucks surely there must be a way that the store can legally cover itself from such litigation / liability. i.e. "sign this thing saying that you intend to feed this to hogs and if you yourself or any other human eats it we are not at fault" Perhaps this would necessitate the store / company having a separate department or branch specifically for selling or giving away old food?

Honestly I'm all for feeding hogs groceries because it would likely make them taste more similar to human beings.

They do this at Kroger's in Michigan. They offer up any food they have before throwing it out. Since most of the stuff needs some degree of refrigeration, the people who come to pick it up are hog farmers.

We used to have bins that we filled with iffy poo poo and scraps that they told us went to go feed the animals, a big truck came by a couple times a week and emptied em. What actually happened is that those bins got loving disgusting in like a day and a half, stayed disgusting forever and the only animals they fed were the rats and roaches that were already in the store and were doing just fine before the bin program

The hog farmers should have saved the effort and just sent 30-50 domesticated hogs to the back of the store, to be fed and possibly butchered directly

The hogs typically walk through the front door and pay for their groceries

what if you have to bring the hogs to the market yourself, so that way someone at the supermarket can supervise and ensure that it's just hogs eating the trash. They can even hire a community member to do this (googlge Job Creation), you can say that you are a Hog Watcher down at the Kroger and hold your head with pride. "Uh yeah I'm a Hog Looker at the Hyvee" youd say,
