While trying to secure food for the kitchen we operated, I approached a very large local business to inquire whether it would be willing to share excess food from its cafeteria on a daily or other regular basis.

I was told that is against our state law. Food that is prepared but not eaten must be discarded.

The law.

Y’know, sometimes, the law IS “a ass”.

But now we have FEMA, which did the same to Katrina victims.
