That's just wrong. Either that or they lock their dumpsters. I think their biggest worry is liability but due to the Good Samaritan Food Act, they're protected as long as they donate it to a nonprofit. As awareness spreads more about this, more businesses will come around.

Just followed ya, @thatadvocate :)
Liability wise they're safe as long as they don't directly give it to someone...they don't need to destroy it.
When asked most businesses say it's to "protect profits" as if they allow it to be salvaged then whoever eats that is less likely to buy it in the store.
I'd hope so, but in this system (capitalism) there's no benefit to doing so nor any regard for others, so why would they waste their time doing something that doesn't make them money?
They are operating within a paradigm of scarcity. We can plant the future with seeds of abundance so nobody has to go to bed hungry. Let's line our neighborhoods with community gardens and fruit trees for the good of all!
