Your observation is all the more ironic considering just a couple months ago Wal-Mart stopped donations of perishable foods to local food banks from all its stores and Sam's Clubs instead just tossing the food citing fear of lawsuits (except there is a Good Samaritan law that would protect them except in cases of Gross Negligence which makes you wonder how good they feel about their own food if they are afraid the hungry might get sick from it).

Wal-Mart: Turning the Hungry Into Customers

Now Wal-Mart is matching customers and employees donations up to $5 million. Sounds like quite a lot but not only will Wal-Mart take credit for ALL donations when it hands it over but the amount it might match is less than 2 days worth of publicity Wal-Mart usually spends bombarding us with the Wal-Mart way.

So all the Wal-Mart food that gets thrown out is still a write-off for them and a void in the belly of the hungry.

But how many of those hungry are hungry because they work at Wal-Mart?
