The same in NYC... in fact most of the commercial food producers like
Entenmann's, Dunkin Donuts, Archway Cookies, etc. deliver much of their
day-olds to local soup kitchens... same with the big corporate
cafeterias in NYC... most of those corporate headquarter buildings
maintain an entire floor of a skyscraper as an employee cafeteria...
all the extra food goes to the local shelters and chuches for daily
meal distribution. Food past its experation date does NOT get thrown
away, just proves she's a big fat liar.

In fact Entenmann's picks up all it's products with expired dates and
resells them to the general public at their "used cake/bread" store at
deep discount, even those that are damaged broken cakes, pies, etc.
even with torn warppers. I can't tell you how many boxes of eight
Entenmann's Chocolate Coated Devil's Food Donuts I bought for like a
$1 a box... no way anyone could tell it was about a week past it's
sell-by date... it's nigh impossible to eat less than all eight....
plenty of times I polished off the entire box one after another... I
don't think there's a better, more addictive donut on the planet..
especially if you eat them frozen.
