IDK, seems like one of those things where there’s a kernel of truth but also possibly in-group rage bait.

When I worked at a supermarket we did it to vegetables and meat, but I was told it was just to reduce the amount of maggots and flies that develop while we wait for trash day.

I guess that’s at least a less hateful reason. Still weird and harmful imo

Yeah we left the bread and some other stuff out in boxes near the dumpster on trash day. So the hungry at least got that.
I would be hesitant to gift any of the meat to anyone by the time it gets tossed anyway. The vegetables were a shame though…
