Why not buy expiring milk from grocery stores and sell it to restaurants/bakeries/hotels/etc who can use it the same day, before it expires? - BrainReactions.net Online Brainstorming http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1953 BrainReactions.net Online Brainstorming Thu, 06 Dec 2007 23:54:37 BrainReactions.net Online Brainstorming webmaster@brainreactions.net 20 6. A grocery store here in Richmond, VA called Ukrop's actually donates goods that are about to expire/expiring to the local food pantry. A church that I know of is able to feed 200 homeless and working poor people for 65 cents a plate because of this donated food. It's a tax break for the grocery store but a benefit for the community. http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1953 21130 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 23:54:37 5. very good knowledge of supply chain management required http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1953 21072 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:17:38 4. you would need a very good distribution network http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1953 21071 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:17:21 3.

Do grocery stores really throw out that much milk? Would it be enough to supply a restaurant or bakery every day? http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1953 21042 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:04:03 1. Sounds like it would almost be like the old milkman, who brought you milk every day because no one had a refrigerator. http://www.brainreactions.net/brainstorms/1953 21041 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:04:03
