Trust me. I am all for helping people with food insecurity. But I see this ALL of the time along the bike trail in Sioux Falls in the downtown area. An organization gives a box of food to transients, they pick out the goodies and leave everything else. During the summer the bike trail literally looks like a food giveaway event blowing in the wind.

I don’t know what the solution is, but I would suggest they eat a hot meal at a facility instead giving them food to go that they just throw away.

    Man, I hope those tin cans don’t confuse and somehow demagnetize some electric motors along the way on that bike trail. 😉 #CrocodileTears

    Is it legal to build campfires out of dead branches to cook along the trail? Giving canned goods to someone with no home/place to prepare a meal is not a smart move.

    “Say, maybe David could find his machete and help with conjuring up some dead branches on the bike trail, huh?”….
