I Grabbed Perfectly Fine Food Out of the Trash at My Job in Portland

You are either with me, or you are completely opposed - there is no middle ground.

There I was at work in the kitchen waiting for the Keurig coffee maker to do its magic. That's when I spotted it. Just sitting in the trash, a perfectly fine loaf of bread in the package. Well, of course, I was curious why that would be there so I dug it out.

Upon further inspection, it was absolutely fine! I knew who in the office dumped it (the daily toast maker!) so I asked why she threw it out! This was August 18 that I asked and the plastic tie tag had a date of August 5. But, it had been in the fridge! She said it was no good and there was no way she was eating it and I shouldn't either! I disagreed and went on to prove my point! Yes, call me George Costanza!

Look. It looks absolutely fine.

This is nice bread too! It was from the Heidelberg Bread Company and costs around $4.50 a loaf! What? I'm so eating that. Now, I would only eat it toasted as I think month-old bread is probably best toasted.

Mmmmm, the smell of toast in the office is intoxicating!

Time to butter that sucker up!

Looks good, doesn't it? Well, I am here to tell you it WAS good!

Now it's time to pick sides. Where do you land? Eat the month-old bread in the trash that has been kept (in my humble opinion) just fine in the fridge? Or, no way and I'm insane for picking it out of the garbage? Call me a dumpster diver, a trash panda - I stand by my decision.
