"They eat food they find in bins and are driven by conscience, not financial need. Meet the freegans."
Apparently there are some people out there who think supermarkets dump too much food and so they grab it for themselves to reduce food wastage. And it looks like its true according to them (at least in the UK). The practice is generally fine with me but some diggers pointed out that feeding (possibly) expired and (likely to be) unsafe food to their children is probably not a wise thing to do. For what it's worth, I heard that a certain fast food company throws out their fries if no one buys them within a certain period of time. That definitely sounds like quite a waste to me. If you're in the mood (and possess a lot of patience) maybe you can join them in "dumpster-diving".
