A lot of time I buy more canned food than I need, especially when preparing for holiday cooking. Donating it is really the only way to make use of it. Otherwise it will sit in my cabinet and maybe I'll remember to use it.
I get that money's always bets, but also encouraging people to get rid of excess purchased food before it expires and goes to waste can't be a "bad thing" altogether.

Donating excess food is fine! The problem addressed in the article is people going out to a store and buying random canned food for the sole purpose of donating it.
