Trash belongs in trash cans, period.
The idea that hungry people should root through someone's refuse on the chance they might be able to feed themselves is absolutely repugnant, and said hungry people should be ashamed. According to the USDA, Americans throw away at least 100 billion pounds of food each year. Luckily, some businesses that help waste 100 billion pounds of food have the common sense to lock their Dumpsters, ensuring that their waste gets wasted. In the meantime, local businesses should follow the trend of pouring bleach on the food they waste. That way, caring Eugeneans can rest assured that any criminal tempted by free, edible food will pay with their lives.
