The Houthis are allegedly receiving arms from Iran last I heard. The US is arming the Saudi Coalition forces. Given the Security Council ban on arming the Houthis, I don't see why you think the US would arm the Shia in SA. Honestly, sometimes it seems like you think the US is the source of all evil in the world.

Maybe on the black market. IS Sunnis won't be selling arms to Shia forces any time soon. Are you suggesting they'll be coming from the Iraqi military itself? Maybe Shia militias in Iraq might supply some, but at the moment they seem to have more important problems like the expansion of IS. Regardless, who do you see as receiving the "$$$" you posted before? Your posting implied the US; I doubt that very much.

Meanwhile there will be political backlash on the White House either way - not arming their allies, or arming "terrorist sponsors". It seems that it is only the arms dealers who win.

A good reason. Another one if than some supermarket do already transform on site that kind of food ( and sell it). Another one if the issue than the ''unsold but still edible'' might not stay edible for long enough.

I wasn't thinking about lawsuits but it might be another good reason but still dealing with that unsold but still edible food, given what it is might require much work. If we talk about vegetable, especially the misshapen one, it isn't much of a issue. Meat in another hand can be a bit more problematic.

Actually, in pure economic terms, a supermarket is better off destroying products they don't want to waste shelf space on rather than giving it away.
Destroying the products just means they no longer make any money from them. But giving away the product means lowering demand. If you give away bread that is less people wanting to buy bread from you, because some potential customers have already been fed. Thus you LOSE money. In short, it is greed. Capitalism demands that you make as much money as possible, and that includes destroying old products to prevent them from being picked up by the poor for free and thus lower product demand. This is why governments had to force companies to donate the food; they wouldn't do it voluntarily.

Safeway use to donate bakery goods to non-profit orginizations at least a decade ago. The problen was that it was usually all or nothing. You took all they had, or you took nothing. Not picking and choosing. That could be a problem if they had a lot and the orginization didn't send the larger van to pick up the pasties, cakes, and bread.
