Nowadays they clean up the market so you can't even get the left overs at the end of the day! I've seen council employees throwing good fruit and veg into skips (locked away from the poor) throughout the day.
When I first lived on my own scavenging was one way to survive. Not allowed to do that now, market traders no longer sell anything cheaply!
Aint capitalism wonderful?
