Or if it really is less expensive to get rid of it this way, then it will increase their profit which has the opposite effect from a "write off"

Are you being serious mate? Giving away the lettuce instead of selling it for profit will increase their profits m8???

No. If giving it away is cheaper than disposing of it, then the profit when giving it away will be higher than when disposing of it.

Of course if they sell it (which is a third case) they will have higher profits.
