The Dumpster Diving Freegan says in the video: "Last night I found enough meat to feed an entire community. It was 33 degrees Fahrenheit outside so everything here was still super cold and had been recently tossed.
"Everything had been thrown out on or before its best by date and as we know, best-by dates are not hard rules and everything is still good to consume."
She adds: "I’ve never seen any discount stickers on any of the items that Whole Foods has thrown out, and I left so much more behind."
