The government shouldn't make laws preventing food waste, and it shouldn't be wasting food it's agencies buys

No. Publix groceries has a wonderful program that shares food with local shelters. Our local farmers have boxes for pick-up on specific days for those who need help. One of the clinics I worked for - the nurses took the leftovers from our pharmacy lunch and learns to a local shelter. Encouraging food sharing and food drives - reduces food waste. Composting is another wonderful way to use food waste. Of all the big problems we have - this is not one of them in our country. And we sure don't need to have the government address this!

Yes, use the imperfect product of local farmers as the ingredence for any government programs that gives away or sells food.

The government pays farmers to not grow crops in areas they deem environmentally sensitive, compensating them for what they have historically grown. While we can all appreciate conservation, such schemes are fiscally irresponsible and the definition of waste.
@9MLF5VJ3wks3W
Yes, there is a bunch of food that gets wasted that someone else can eat.
@9MLDCL73wks3W
Yes. School lunch is extremely wasteful, and regulated food stamps should be used instead.
