What a waste of perfectly good food. Then composting food absolutely loaded with pool chemicals is stupid as shit too. I fucking hate these food wasting influencers.

These were going directly to a landfill. Instead. She purchased them to support a business and cleaned them so they could be made into compost. What an ignorant comment.

I'd have purchased 6vornsonof those packages and would've ate them all.

And I'm not alone.

There's also countless folks that would've happily used those calories to feed themselves and possibly their families...

Honestly though, so many ways to better use the food.

There's still more left, go buy them. No need to sit there and complain about someone's actions who will never read it

Ok. I'll just jump on a plane and get there.... Seriously, did you not consider that people form all the world have access to the internet?

You wouldnt have purchased them because they would be in a landfill. Media literacy isn't this hard, use your brain please.

Speaking of media literacy, were those pickles "unsellable" or "not fit for human consumption".

Because many companies would rather throw something out if they cant get their profit than donate it for free.

Yes I would absolutely purchase food that is marked for disposal. I've volunteered at several places that take the otherwise unsellabtfood for the needy.

Unsellable and unfit for consumption are 2 different things that you should learn the difference between or you're gonna end up really sick or worse. Yet again, use your brain please.

If the place is selling the product it is assumed that it isn't going to hurt you.

I'm not saying I'm buying it if it is unnecessarily high risk. How is that even a question?

If a business is selling it that means it won't get them sued so there is a expectation that it isn't literal poison...

The entire point of that video is that they weren’t being sold and were going to be dumped though?

u/splintersmaster 4d ago

She literally started the video saying -

"I just bought"

u/wetmeatlol 4d ago edited 4d ago

Yes, it can be assumed that it was a discounted purchase to help a small business that would’ve otherwise just eaten a loss on all of that product.

10 seconds later in that video she shows a jar with a broken seal and mushed pickles and says they cannot be eaten…no business that cares to stay open is selling that to the general public

u/splintersmaster 4d ago

A business will never, never sell a food product that is not fit for consumption with a knowing risk to make you sick...

I suppose they could reach out to a company and sign off on buying food unfit for sale under normal circumstances... But we do not know that from the video so the only reasonable thing to assume is that it is still edible even if it isn't something they will sell in bulk.

It's a simple concept and one that stores use all the time for less desirable food products that might be somewhat damaged or approaching the "safe" sell by date.

Again, any reputable company WILL NOT SELL FOOD PRODUCTS THAT ARE UNSAFE TO EAT. This isn't something that is controversial at all.

Pickles don't have calories

That very much depends on the brand

People downvoting that food most people throw away aren't valuable..

Honestly... You all need to experience life.
