Today, I learned that most stores and businesses throw away perfectly good stuff! I feel like they could have donated it to the homeless or something.  And they're obviously not going to listen to us kids trying to convince them. So, to start 2023 off right, I recommend donating to the homeless. Items like canned food, clothing, and toys can be donated.

I’m actually not sure why stores throw away good stuff. It’s bad for the planet.

Write a paper letter (not email, as they won’t listen) to your local grocery store and give them reasons why they shouldn’t throw away good stuff.

If it can't be sold after a certain amount of time. ( I just asked mom)

Also true. Apparently, if a product exceeds the expiration date time, it’s supposed to be thrown away.

When a product’s expiration date is coming soon (usually the next day), the product will often sell for a discounted price.

With the exception of baby formula, the expiration date is only a BEST BY date. That means the food will be best until the expiration date, but still consumable after.

However, for baby formula, the expiration date is a strict safety date. When baby formula exceeds the expiration date, it’s no longer safe for consumption.
