which of course doesn't make it less bad, if it stayed in force.

There's a nonprofit organization here in NYC called City Harvest (http://www.cityharvest.org/) which collects food from numerous sources, from simple donations to the excess food prepared by restaurants, catering places etc. and brings it to places feeding the homeless/poor. FWIW, they're still going strong, which would seem to indicate that the 'ban' in the article was reversed.
