What's the incentive for stores to hold onto perfectly good food thay they'll be forced to throw away?

Why not price it so it's not wasted?

I'd rather see reasonably priced food be sold out than overpriced food be thrown away.

The same reason they don't lower prices over all so that people buy more. Someone has run the numbers and they make more money this way. That is always going to be the answer.
