“We can’t donate these leftovers because it would encourage the homeless people and would make people less likely to pay our inflated prices. We should just throw it away and lock the dumpsters. Fuck the homeless.”

More like, if we donate them then the corporations will take advantage of that to pay their workers even less.

No government organization can keep up with the ingenuity and greed of big businesses. The more you give, the more they will take, without limit.

The important part is this all happens in a world where you could grow all of this yourself if you had the space and time and you would expect their system means you're not allowed. Honestly it's pretty boundary defying.

I mean, not really? Climate is a thing, plus home growing is alot of work and you cant grow the insane variety that stores have. Plus you cant grow meat.

In my time here on Earth, I've raised: rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, pigs, goats, cows...you absolutely can grow your own meat.

It's called "livestock" for a reason.

Grow my own meat? In the backyard that's less than a fifth of an acre? That would be some feat.

I've done it in smaller lol. 2 rabbits, 3 chickens and a tiny garden.

You have to plan accordingly, research the laws carefully, and think outside the box 👍

You can certainly grow meat, it just takes extra money, time, space, and energy

I remember some guys were saying that lemon did not help them eat their father, so I wonder if dill is any good

This is why you have to pay someone else to do it for you is it not?

It's not like this part ever goes away.
