Watch comedian Jeff Seal go dumpster diving for food in NYC

Comedian Jeff Seal did a bit for Gothamist recently about how much food one can find for free just by going dumpster diving in NYC. The video is a little over the top, but the message beyond getting free stuff is pretty clear: NYC throws out a lot of food. Thankfully, some places leave unsold food aside for pickup by organizations that use it for the homeless or the needy, but far too much of it just ends up as trash. That's decent, edible, and otherwise good food going straight to waste.
