Why don't the supermarkets simply donate these "near date" foods to women's refuges, homeless shelters and suchlike, to feed those who genuinely cannot afford it? I have lived in a refuge and we used to get daily deliveries from M&S of perishables that were on or near their sell by date. We used to share them out as fairly as we could, with the larger families getting the lions share. If someone did without one day (or got very little), they were first up the next day, to try to make things fair. There was no arguing, because everything was done fair and square.
