No. The OP is claiming this from somewhere or for some reason. But, I've never seen anything like this happen, except maybe after a group has a large party such as a wedding and decides to throw out the food. It's not uncommon for people to take the extra food to the shelters which I've taken part in before.

So where is this claim coming from is what bigfatfurrytexan wants to know?

kinda off topic but what you feel about grocery's and retailers throwing out food or shreding clothes instead of donating it to the poor and needy? dumbster diving is in.

As soon as news of the storm coming their way, they went out early to raid the food stores to beat the next door neighbor (enemy) to the store so that they can throw out enormous piles of fresh food into the Rubbish to impress the next door people that they got that much money to throw away and plenty more coming in. Street after street is seen lined with piles of freshly bought food in the rubbish cans after any little or big snowstorm -just to be a pig. If you go to the Acme, etc food stores now ,you'd see the shelves stripped bare. You would not get much to eat for dinner and all the restaurants and MacDonald's are closed -because of them. You are the one who would be picked up by the police. This was unheard of before the 1960s. They rush out early and are back to snuggle up for the storm to gawk at the more unfortunate who didn't make it in time. Even one snowflake will drive the teachers to close the schools so they can have an extra paid vacation all in the name of robbery of the state.
