    Many homeless do want it, it’s often illegal to dumpster dive.

    But that problem could be alleviated before it happens. If you know a region wastes X food, you supply less.

    We don’t fairly supply our food resources because we decided “poor” people don’t deserve access to it.

      Oh man.

      If only there were some way we could incentivise suppliers to supply the correct amount to different regions. Like some kind of reward or financial incentive for applying the correct amount? /s

        Sadly such a system if it existed would never work. It would lead to people chasing higher imaginary numbers that can only come from taking more of other people imaginary numbers away from them.

          … but in the existing system suppliers are provided with the best imaginary numbers by sending things to places people want to buy it.

      we decided “poor” people don’t deserve access to it.

      You either produce your own food or you pay someone else to do it. What you seem to want is outright slavery.
