I chose something that was already there, but walked off feeling sick about all the waste.

I'm sure they aren't the only ones.

Surely something could be done by a charity to redistribute this ?
I contacted a charity a few months back about collecting left over food from the Greggs shop my daughter worked in, she was throwing away bin bags full of food and then walking past all the homeless people on her way home from work, she would of happily taken all the food with her and shared it out but she was not allowed.
They were meant to be opening a coffee shop ran by the homeless in Cardiff and arranging to collect food from their stores but I don't know if anything has come of it yet, he told me they have trouble getting regular reliable people to collect it all every day.

My daughter is starting work in the new Tim Hortons soon which is opening right next door, they make everything to order and are very popular apparently so I have a feeling the left over food from her old place is going to go up even more.
