Reply to comment by Paul6334 in Boston could be first municipality to require stores, restaurants, and hotels to donate leftover food by bostondotcom

Telling me that and downvoting me won't convince the lawyers of those companies or prevent frivolous lawsuits and legal fishing attempts.

Besides, even with that in mind, there's still other health code issues to resolve.

Still doesn't address what I said. We've got plenty of laws, including some pretty big federal ones, about what you can and can't sue for, but it still happens anyway. And sometimes successfully, no less.

Like I said, this could be good if they do it right, but I've been around long enough to see how government usually does things.
