LM refers to that staunchly reliable source The Gateway Pundit to note how migrants in NYC are throwing away the free meals they're given because they just don't like the food.
Well LM, if you have any inclination to leaven that tripe with some actual facts, you can take a look at the NYTimes' recent investigation. Yes, meals are going into dumpsters. But not because the migrants being housed by NYC are picky and ungrateful for their free meals. It's because of the common experiences of becoming ill after eating this food, and finding moldy food.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/13/nyregion/migran... Some food waste might be unavoidable. Many migrants are not around when meals are served, especially during the day when they might be working or seeking work, and many cook for themselves in their hotel rooms.
But the underlying problem seems to be the food itself. Some migrants have said they got sick after eating the meals; others have reported quality issues such as mold.
DocGo officials have been aware of longstanding issues surrounding the quality of the food, but any attempt to improve it has not seemed to have had much effect: On a single day, Nov. 6, more than 5,000 meals were discarded, the records show.And more:
The food waste is the latest issue to emerge related to DocGo’s care of migrants. This summer, the state attorney general began investigating the company over accusations it had mistreated migrants, among other issues.And the company DocGo?
The meals are provided by DocGo, a medical services company that won a no-bid, $432 million contract from the city to provide broad migrant care, despite having had no experience in doing so.What I'd love to know is why DocGo was given the job.
