I used to dumpster dive, and got told time and time again how disgusting it was, despite the fact that the food was packaged, inside a large trash bag with other non trash merch. You'd wear gloves and wash the packaging before opening as a precaution. It was no different to that item being in a plastic shopping bag, yet somehow the transition to inside a dumpster made people freak out about it.

We've become so disillusioned about food, it's crazy.
