For the last eight years, I have been working for the biggest supermarkets chains in Europe, Being a truck driver I get to see the entire food industry from how it's produced, stored, distribution through to how it's stacked on the shelves at your local supermarket.

** * I pick up the cheese from the dairy factories, which is why I don't consume milk products anymore. * I collect the meat from the slaughter houses, which is why I very rarely eat meat. * I have been to the farms, which is why I stopped buying eggs. * I have been to the warehouses and seen the state of the trucks these foods get distributed in which is why I always wash my vegetables. I now feel I have found the right platform to share some of the horrors I have witnessed and I feel it's my duty to share this with my fellow steemians, I know what I am doing could get me fired and prosecuted but I don't care because in 3 weeks I am leaving Sweden for the last time to pursue my life long dream of having land and growing my own food. # What a Bunch of No Good Wasters? **

In this post I will be exposing how these big supermarkets throw tonnes of food away every day, I witness on a daily basis how perfectly good food gets binned, only because the date printed on the packaging says it's not good anymore when in reality it's good for another 3-4 days, this really upsets me for many reasons.** * This food could and should be given to people in real need. * What kind of a world do we live in where on one side we have starving children and the other we are throwing food in the bin?. * Why are we supporting companies who would much rather throw food away than give to the needy?. * How much are we overcharged for food when they can throw this much away and still make a HUGE profit?. * This food could be used to produce bio fuels or compost. * With all the problems with having in the world today, this should be made illegal. * What makes this even more crazy is that if you are hungry and take some of this food out of the bins, you can be prosecuted for theft
