Years ago I was trying to sell a garbage collection program to a rural twp. One old timer got up and said--we don't need no garbage collection out here as farmers don't have garbage. We throw everything to the hogs. And if the hogs don't eat it, we do.

Back in the late 60's and early 70's I had two great uncles that raised hogs.Every Saturday morning one would go to the big bakery close to us and get a trailer full of
bread, doughnuts, cakes and other sweet things. They would pay me and my brother and a couple of our cousins a dollar to unwrap everything and feed it to the hogs. Plus
we could eat our fill. Some of it was just packed the day before. I guess that's where I got the sweet tooth that I still have today!I think my Mom has a picture of us
sitting on that old trailer 50 years ago. I'll have to ask her about it
 
Larry, several years back when I worked for a contractor who plowed snow from mall parking lots, part of my rounds included a local Price Chopper grocery store. I was amazed at the stuff that was put in the dumpster nights. We started plowing at 3:00AM and finished about 1:00PM for the first plowing. I made sure that I pulled up real close with the FEL to the dumpster in the back, and pulled all kinds of produce and bread out of it and put it in a box behind the seat. We all brought our machines back to the shop after the first round of plowing. there was a nice kitchen in the shop ad some really good cooks. The boss always made sure there was plenty meat in the frig. and we ate like kings. If the storm was bad we went out for an afternoon run. Worked long and hard, but had a great time doing it. still have fond memories of that period of my life and the guys I worked with. Several of them are now gone but not forgotten.br>Loren
 
I really dont help him much,we both get pretty busy,,I rarely feed the animals,there is a friend of ours we have both known since high school,he still lives in the same town and is a block away,I live much further.Our friend does it most times if my brother cant.I wouldnt have taken pictures,but the bread and scraps looked so good I had to take pictures..lol
 
The amount of food that is thrown away and wasted in this country is appalling.

Found this on internet search.......
Forty percent of food in the United States is never eaten, amounting to $165 billion a year in waste, taking a toll on the country's water resources and significantly increasing greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report from the Natural Resources Defense Council released this week.Aug 22, 2012
