There is a lot of dumpster diving in Seattle, much restaurant & bakery food is tossed in bags or boxes. I used to walk to work from the ferry dock & my back alley route took me past the "a la Francais" bakery dumpster. Always enjoyed seeing the street guys who were in the know walking past me munching on French pastry & breads. Also, some of that supermarket & restaurant throw away food is not wasted. One of our attorneys has a pig farm in Elma & he cut a deal for all the throw away food from a local supermarket & several restaurants.
