William Reid survives by scavenging through supermarket bins to find perfectly good food that has been thrown away. These aren't just rolls packets of ham that are on the turn - he actually finds perfectly in date meat, tins and salads. It's actually so fucking sad to see how much food waste these supermarkets produce.

It was a really upsetting sight as this waste could be going to the homeless or to food banks.
