Food, even healthy food, can be cheap if you're willing to spend a bit of time preparing. I'd cook a pot of beans before hitting up soup kitchens.
They were not homeless. A criminal investigation was made. It is used as a scenario in school, and that's how I know about it. The pictures were... "interesting".
Not saying it's common, but if I ever have to get my food from trash cans I will make damned sure that it's at least properly sealed.
