Idk why more restaurants/etc. donate their unused food to food banks. Not that that would be a solution right now but I think the US looks bad compared to the rest of the world in regards to keeping food banks stocked up.

In defense of the restaurants there is alot of restrictions on what can be given away and what has to be destroyed. For one and it's a big one anything with a do not use after this date is a big one. The food it's self might not be bad but by law must be destroyed .

Because of liability issues.

Seems like that could be solved if soup kitchens/food banks/etc. would sign a liability waiver absolving the donation from liability.

But then Soup Kitchen Food Bank etc is now responsible.

But then Soup Kitchen Food Bank etc is now responsible.Many of these reasons are Federal regulations or State and can't be signed away with a waiver.
