The amount of intellectual nourishment that ’s thrown out in restaurants and supermarkets at the end of each sidereal day is really so upsetting .

1.These buckets and buckets of rice thrown out at the end of a shift:

2.This trash can that a restaurant fills with noodles every single night:

3.This 200 pounds of food thrown out from a college kitchen:

4.This dumpster full of fruit that was only on shelves for a single day:

5.These bags of donuts tossed out on a daily basis:

6.These pastries that were basically made just to fill up a trash bin:

7.This pile of perfectly good bread at the supermarket, destined for the landfill:

8.This single afternoon’s worth of uneaten, unsold pizzas:

9.These prepackaged sandwiches that could’ve easily been given to employees instead:

10.This perfectly good produce that it pains me to look at:

11.These pies that got put in the trash because they weren’t completely ~perfect~:

12.These salads that are probably only a day past the expiration date:

13.These snacks that the manager insisted on tossing because they weren’t “fresh”:

14.And finally, these bins with $50,000 worth ofice creamdown the drain and melting in the sun:
