    If that were the goal of the companies selling the food, sure. But I think the app does a good job of connecting food that would normally be thrown out with people who cant afford much. The corporation gets a dollar or two, the people get to eat. I understand that it’s not as pure as giving it away for free, but the majority of these companies would not give it away but will do this, which I see as a net good.

      Wow, that’s some neolib bullshit.

      This is a for profit business facilitating the profit of other business while targeting the most disadvantaged. It’s another capitalist middleman.

        Speaking as a user of the app, I’m grateful it exists, it’s saved me thousands of dollars and made it a lot easier to survive in an expensive city.
