re: #177 Blind Frog Belly White

I saw this on my FB feed:

Sounds great, except for a couple things:

First, having grown up around fruit trees, and having several in the yard, I can tell you that the homeless will have to fight the squirrels and birds for the fruit.

Second, much fruit will be rotting on the sidewalk.

Third, a bunch of homeless people without a lot of accessible toilets, eating a lot of free fruit will lead to even worse messes on the sidewalks.

We don’t need fruit trees, we throw away more than enough food - and that year round - to feed the needy, we just have to develop means to get it to those people. Instead we prosecute people for distributing food contributions.
