Shocking! Woman scavenging trash to find a huge amount of food to feed her community; Amuses Reddit
When opening the refrigerator door, we carefully navigated by hand to avoid an orange that had been there for too long; 2 slices of slightly stale looking bread or slightly curled carrot you received last week. We look for fresh ingredients and prepare a meal for ourselves, what about the food you left in the fridge? They rot, until they need to be thrown away! We do, guiltlessly. But multiply these wastes by 30 days a month and you could have thrown away enough food to feed a homeless family. Recently, a video popped up on Reddit of a woman trying to tackle this food waste problem.
The video was posted on Reddit handle r / Damnthatsint domains, where it has received 8526 votes and 904 comments and these numbers are growing by the minute. In the 3:30-second clip, the woman can be seen jumping into large trash cans and looking for food, she brings this food home, cleans it, and shares it with her community, who looked very happy to be offered the meal of the day. The amount of food this woman found in the giant trash cans is astounding, from packages of cherries to dozens of overripe bananas and even a bunch of potatoes. Concerned about hygiene? The woman washes and separates the good and bad foods before cooking or storing them. What we can understand from the comment section is that these trash cans are located near large corporations or malls that have a habit of disposing of large quantities of food when they start to go bad for a while. little.

What is even more heartbreaking is the fact that this is not an entirely uncommon practice. In fact, many of the people in the comments, who were former employees or large corporations or food chains, agreed to throw the same amount of food in the trash.
