...this is an insult to the poor . Supermarkets here already donate vast quantities of non-perishable items to food banks but to tell the poor " here you go , eat the rotting and spoiling fruit we wouldn't touch " is reprehensible .

...that's right , the children of the poor didn't choose poverty but maybe a wormy apple or two will help ease our collective guilt and responsibility .

I dont know about the food markets in USA, but in france we got one relatively big ones lets say every 10 or 20 kilometers (and maybe 40 km.  far out of town)
So the distance isnt really problem if locally managed...
Food market close at 8h pm and usually never sell food with an "end date" occuring the current day; all that give time to move and to eat most of the food imo.
Basically Homeless people will become obese.


doubt that, they don't have the money to indulge in big macs all the time
but 'food-share' is already going on in some countries, here one article from the uk: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2168018/Food-share-database-end-supermarket-waste-Stores-boost-links-charities-help-hungry.html
and on the local farmers' markets here, charities come at closing time to pick up all produce the store holders want to give way
always good produce which might just be surplus or not last for another week but definitely fit to be used in the charities' soup kitchen the next few days

One of those happy liberal ideas that makes them feel better but really wouldn't work well.

...many actions are nothing more than band-aids on gushing arteries designed more to ease the conscience rather than seriously address the issue .

You give to charity because its in your heart, not because its in the law.
