Criminalizing the sharing of food amongst humans is asinine, hard problem or not.

Yeah - no matter what the "reason" it's absurd that a policeman can see me handing a sandwich to another human being and fine me for it. This is NOT the way to solve the problem.

I agree. Whatever the issue, this just cannot be the solution. It's also troubling that such a law can even exist in a supposedly free country.
