Finally, a
food-stunt-marathon movie that Morgan Spurlock (SUPERSIZE ME) didn’t think of.
And perhaps he should have.
In a
headline-grabbing stunt that would be funny if it weren't so sobering, Canadian
filmmaking couple Jen Rustemeyer and Grant Baldwin determine to live for six
months off discards (with perhaps occasional handouts from family and friends).
The impetus for this commitment to dumpster-diving and creative mooching comes
from hearing that 40 percent of all food in North America goes to waste
The couple's
docu-diary shows the progress of this unappetizing experiment, and guess what?
(SPOILER ALERT) Far from starving, the couple take home more food than they can
possibly consume. Even gourmet and “organic” premium-specialty food, thrown out
behind markets by the truckload. Grant gains an unflattering amount of weight.
