Dad Creates Inspiring Family Meals from a Dumpster

The larger story here is that a lot of food goes to waste that doesn't need to.

One innovation of Fresh & Easy that somewhat shames Trader Joe's is its deep discount section of [mostly] refrigerated, perishable items that have reached the expiration date.  This section...a tiny corner carved out of the refrigerated food shelving [usually in Aisle #3, sometimes Aisle #2] often features food that no only is still edible, but edible the next day, too.   And most of the stuff is in reasonably salable condition, not looking like a tire has run over it. 

Seems like a win-win: Fresh & Easy recoups some of the food product cost, and customers score a bargain (and in many cases the inspiration to sample an item).  I didn't watch this video, but if Trader Joe's is really dumping food in the trash, that's not a good thing.
