I completely understand the "not throwing away food" problem. I'm there with you. If my DH wont eat it and I know I wont think of another option. I see your a retired teach. Means you don't work anywhere? I usually bring it to work and leave it out for anyone to take. Do you know your neighbors? Mailman, ups, etc find anyone that you can give it to. Tell them, this was given to me as a gift but you see, I'm working awfully hard to change my eating habits and I really don't want to eat this. Would you be willing. What ever it takes. If there are no possabilities to give it away then as a last resort DO throw it away. It really is poison. If you eat it you are only poisoning your self. You really are. Your health will go down the drain and you will have more problems. That is poison to your body. If you don't eat it, you will feel better about yourself.

Take the food to the local shelter in your town. You know they will appreciate it.
I wish you the best, do this for YOU.
