Dumpster Diving Ethical Issue

In the recent discussion of the article “Dumpster Diving” there were a lot of options on whether or not dumpster diving was the best practice for individuals to take to get their food. Also whether or not it's ethical. Due to the excess food thrown out due to how long the shelf date is or sell date, good food doesn't get donated and is out to waste. If an individual is homeless or can't afford food dumpster diving may be a good alternative since most of the food thrown out is still edible and healthy to eat. The author explains this in the article since he was dumpster diving a year before he became homeless. Foods that the normal person wouldn't eat after the sell date, like yogurt is still good, even in room temperature for a couple of days.
