"Some food businesses hesitate to donate food out of fear that, should the recipient become ill from the food, the donor could be held responsible. In 1988, the California legislature passed the “Russell Bill” which releases the donor from liability."
- zacharycohn 12y agoCoooool... but there's still the moral question of "what happens when you donate food that makes someone sick?"
- fredsted 12y agoYou stay in bed for a couple days and be happy to receive donated food?
- zacharycohn 12y agoPretty sure the people who are receiving free/donated food aren't the sort of people who can afford "stay in bed" for a few days, if they have a bed.
- fredsted 12y agoWell what else should they do? Not eat?
- RyanMcGreal 12y agoThe bigger and vastly more common moral question is: what happens when you throw food out instead of donating it and someone goes hungry?
