I could be wrong here but I believe you said you either work at a food bank
or have worked at one. If this is true, I have a question. Do they take
expired food? This subject came up on a couponing site where many people
are saying they donate their expired food. But there is one woman there who
works at a food bank and she said they are unable to give it out and have to
just toss it. She said they toss most of the food donated because the cans
are dented or the food is badly expired. Some by as much as years. Yet
there are other people who claim their food bank does take expired food or
that they themselves have gotten expired food from a food bank. I know
there is no universal answer on this and each food bank would be different.
I just would never donate expired food. To me that seems like a mean thing
to do.

Thanks!
