If the waste were only $2.5m per day they could house 18,250 new families per year in $50,00 homes. Give them the home and a chance to make a go of it.

With the same $2.5m per day they could feed 833,333 people which is over 3 billion meals/yr.

I'd rather see them feed the 833,333 people than buy a Super Bowl ad.
You think that monies from one entity should just be made available to others? And I doubt that they are paying $2.5 million a day on superbowl commercials.

Try to use a little logic.
