“Illegal Border Crossers Complain About the FREE Food They’re Being Given at Their FREE New York City Hotels”
snip
“Illegal border crossers living on the taxpayers’ dime in New York City hotels are reportedly not happy about the taxpayer funded food they are being given.

At a time when American citizens are struggling to afford food to feed themselves and their families, people here illegally are throwing away food that they are being given for free.

The city is spending a fortune on this every single day. They might as well just throw cash into the garbage.”

“The New York Post reports:
Their claims of terrible food came a day after it was revealed thousands of uneaten, taxpayer-funded meals prepared for asylum seekers are tossed each day.”

Seriously, do you read anything that's not a questionable resource?



LurkerMom: https://www.thegatewaypundit...

So, that would be a "no."

QUESTIONABE SOURCE: Overall, we rate The Gateway Pundit Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of conspiracies, and numerous instances of publishing false (fake) news.

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.

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.
