StumbleLetter: Vegas buffets could help feed homeless
Sunday, July 30, 2006 | 8:15 a.m.
I read recently in the Register-Guard newspaper of Eugene, Ore., that the Las Vegas City Council passed an ordinance against feeding indigent people in city parks.
Would you please run an article detailing just how much food is tossed out every day at every buffet at every casino? I'll bet that the amount would feed every homeless human in Las Vegas and beyond.
It seems to me that the gaming industry in Las Vegas and the city government could work together on a program to share some of this leftover food with the homeless and the working poor.
