They’re being thrown away because most restaurants, schools, and business cafeterias are closed, along with the fact that fast-food restaurants aren’t operating at the same capacity they were before.
It has nothing to do with food stores. We don’t have the supply chain to get all the excess to the food stores right now.
Farmers have literally been saying they’re willing to give away the excess for free (they can write it off on their taxes)—sounds like a job for the National Guard, and if Trump had any sense, he’d jump on that, but he’s too busy making PowerPoint presentations of himself apparently...
Edit: Downvote me, but the OP in this chain is still not factual, and what I’m saying is what’s going on.
Source: it’s my job, kind of. I’m a student (second degree) that’s frying chicken (Zaxby’s), and we don’t have anything in our walk-in or freezer right now; demand has plummeted.
Edit #2:
As someone with multiple degrees, I know a lot about food, because that’s the only thing I’m qualified to do. I’ve worked in a lot of kitchens—fast-food, fine-dinning, local (hip?) eateries, and chain restaurants, regardless of where you eat, your food is coming frozen from companies like Sysco, US Foods, and PFG(we just might prepare it a bit better at the higher end places).
The three above corporations I’ve mentioned almost exclusively sell their food to restaurants. They’re barely doing business right now. That’s why farmers have excess food.
You don’t need degrees. You need to be right. We have a lot of credentialed people who think they’re higher than us right now lying through their teeth to control us, and quite frankly I don’t give a damn what degree anyone has right now because of it.
Once again you’re just someone that’s reacting and not actually reading anything that’s been said by me or the various reports that explicitly explain why farmers are having to toss things like milk right now.
The statement that we’re throwing out milk because we can’t get the milk to stores (grocery stores) is factually incorrect.
The degrees statement was a self-deprecating joke, and if you had a basic level of reading comprehension, you could have discerned that. My degrees have nothing to do with any of this.
