Naaah. That's typical anarcho-capitalist/Republican crap - we have to do (insert bad thing here) because of those eeeeevil laws and those eeeeevil lawyers, and if we didn't have laws and lawyers, we could just do the right thing without fear of lawsuits!

Bull fucking shit.

There is no more risk of food poisoning from these cookies at the end of the business day then there is at the beginning of the business day when they went out for sale.

Management isn't throwing those cookies away from fear of food poisoning.

They're throwing those cookies away because they would rather waste food than let people have free cookies.
