New Mexico Peanut Butter Dumped 

This is so stupid. Almost a million jars of peanut butter have been dumped in a New Mexico landfill and bulldozed over. Why? Because US retailer Costco refused to take shipment of the stuff and wouldn't let it be donated to food banks or even repackaged and given to prison inmates. Costco wound up with the stuff after acquiring it from a bankrupt processing plant, and because some of the jars were leaking peanut oil, they wouldn't agree to any disposition other than it being dumped because, according to Costco, they were "not merchantable." Yep, that's 2.6 million dollars worth of peanut butter, 25 tons, 950,000 jars, and to top it off, the county had to spend $60,000 just to transport it to the county landfill.
