being the homeless feeding the homeless has been banned in major cities all over
america what would you do is if he came across someone on the street hadn't had
anything to eat for several days you had your leftovers from a restaurant he said
why do you have this and then he found out that it was illegal
uh...
if i genuinely wanted to give them food in
thought it was helping them i wouldn't care if it was illegal you would risk
the jail time
i don't think i get yeltsin okay
well a lot of cities are either banning or putting heavy restrictions on the
feeling of homeless people a lot of them claim that they're concerned about
health risks
of the uh... yes you have people distributing food
that who knows what's going on with the food is the food still good where is the
food coming from all of these different concerns which is in part one of the
reasons you told me was when you work in during high school
at a grocery store
what all of that leftover food that has
ripened a little but the produce a bread and a little too much to be sold the
next day
perfectly fine for consumption can't donate any of it to homeless shelters is
that uh... thousands of pounds of food
perfectly good food that could go home shelters for an hour just because uh...
he was quote writing to fasten because legally i believe that they could not
uh... donated to shelters philadelphia's mayor recently banned feeding homeless
people in a lot of hard to philadelphia where homeless people are known to
congregate in orlando and jim in a group of activists in orlando were actually
arrested by police for feeding homeless people
in defiance of the city ordinance where else houston houston a group of people
was banned from distributing food to the homeless and they were told you're
probably not going to get a permit to do so if they're las vegas the first major
u_s_ city to pass a law banning the feeling of homeless people again not a
problem
of money
we have plenty of money to feed all of these homeless people problem of
resource allocation
and a problem of bureaucracy right there is absolutely no reason that if we out
get resources properly looking at all the food is thrown out who'd it's over
produced food if they were at the retail level et cetera that all these people
can't be fed it is yet again a resource allocation problem the food is not in
the right places
problems like
grocery stores like the one lewis were attacked the runaway thousand pounds of
food because there's a risk that these homeless people could presumably
contract some kind of uh... foodborne illness i guess is the fear yeah
resource allocation problem not the money problem breakfast or through
talking about fruit in my in my case to i'm either needs to be
but the party to handle this that laws need to go there needs to be a middle
man who could use a ok i can handle all this food and get to where he's to go
absolutely
so think twice before you feed homeless people it may be legally may be arrested
for it at least some people were of course in uh... orlando florida
