I've grabbed furniture from the garbage when i was younger, never food though.

I saw a 60 minutes or dateline piece on this topic and was grossed the hell out by some of the stuff the people ate from the garbage.

I would have no problem say taking a crate of tomatoes from the garbage because you can tell if they're still good. But no way am i taking lunch meat or a half jar of mayo.

of course if it was my only option for a meal i would do so, but just to save a couple of bucks no way. I think what the people are doing is great, but the real effort should be in the recycling process first meaning the people throwing out the good food...etc
