"Hawaiʻi food banks report canceled shipments"

The part that I'd love to see looked into is just exactly what happened (or happens) to the food that was scheduled to be shipped here to Hawaii?

I'm going to go out on that preverbal limb here and I'd venture to say that if an in-depth investigation was done, we will find that the food was disposed, most likely in a landfill, and at a total cost greater than what just shipping it would have been.

But you got to draw the line somewhere. Right?

Scheduled shipments, not food already on the way.
The food, which was most likely canned goods or frozen items will simply be sold to another wholesaler.

Note the difference between my post and how I worded my assumption and stated my opinion versus your "confidently spoken" factual opinion.

From the link HOTPE posted:

“This included frozen chicken, pulled pork, eggs — really expensive, healthy food items that we were really excited to bring in and distribute. And six of those loads have already been turned back,” Miller said.

At any event, it sure must suck to be the ones who really needed that food, but hey, we saved all that money now, right?
