Feed a family meal from the dumpster (33 photos)

29-year-old Rafael vellmar (Rafael Fellmar) prefers to work, though he has a wife and small child. He found a very peculiar way to feed his family. While living in Germany, Rafael collects food from dumpsters ...




According to reports of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, each year is discarded and spoiled food in the amount of $ 1 trillion. With the help of the Internet-German environmentalists have made a popular movement "fudshering" ("sharing food"). People collect food that has been thrown out by employees of supermarkets, and share with other like-minded people. Another site on which registered about 8200 people, prompt information about all the dumpsters Germany, here indicated that dogs can be found in the trash bins in Cologne and some tea in Chemnitz.



This 29-year-old is a rare exception. Few people in Germany, rummaging through garbage cans in search of food for his family. And here's why.

The unemployed and earning little in Germany have the opportunity to take advantage of so-called distribution points khalyavnykh products, Tafel. Tafel - table distribution, in English will be food bank, a network of organizations to mediate between the shops and the needy population. In Germany, more than 900 of these, there is in almost every city. Anyone can buy food there for a nominal fee (0-2 euros). The truth is you need a special certificate from the social agencies that you are poor. These are can be a certificate from the labor exchange that you are unemployed. Thus the need to climb on the bins have totally eliminated the above-mentioned citizen.



































Unloading rolls and bread. Berlin Area distribution.



In general, a bakery strictly. All that was baked in the morning, but the day is not sold, subject to ejection. Bakeries themselves willing to take back such products, dried and milled to animal feed. Naturally, this bread to eat and tomorrow and the day after. Therefore, some goes to the distribution tables.

Gazelle came with yogurt. Kvakenburgsky distribution table.



Milk, milk products and yogurt - one of the most popular products on the tables of distribution. Because of the short shelf life, there are occasions when a product goes through a period of 2-3 days. Such a product in stores try not to keep on the shelves too high likelihood that deposits of longer shelf life, and then there can be problems. Therefore, these products are given for free.

Loading vegetables from the store. Berlin Area distribution.



Tables have their own distribution pirozhkovozy which are paid either from the municipal budget, either by donations or with a nominal charge for the products (1-2 euros). Workers also do not get anything - they are volunteers, working in their spare time, they pure karma.

Sort vegetables before delivery. Berlin Area distribution.



Again sorting. Most all of our work helps, Russian. Reinickendorf, a district of Berlin.



On the issue. Salzungen.



You can see that bananas have been dark spots. Generally, handing see to it that the range was maintained until the last visitor. Tables for work a couple of times a week for two hours a day maximum. During these two hours, they distribute almost all foods, but also offended remains. All in all enough.

On the issue. Bergedorf.



Yes, there is such distribution of sausage and stew, and sometimes condensed milk. But that can always be found - is the abundance of our, Russian grandparents. But it's not because they did not have enough money for food from the store. And just because this can save money and get the same products. And saved a trip to see Switzerland.

Preparation of vegetables for cooking. Salzungen.



Some tables have not only the distribution of products, but also the distribution of hot freshly prepared food. But since organization rests on a voluntary basis, it is rare when there is a kitchen.

Issuance of soup. Bergedorf.



In general, the distribution of the 900 tables in Germany, only 17% have a kitchen. This distribution table has its own kitchen and cook. At meal nobody complains, cooked with love and delicious. This saving is even more impressive because electricity unemployed state does not pay. So cooking at home - this is in addition to spending more on food and expenses for electricity, about 10 rubles per kilowatt-hour.

Vegetables cast in the giveaway. Berlin.



I do not know how you have to be a Jedi to find the difference between vegetables and those who remained in the store.

Christmas in the distribution table. Blankenhain.



In fact, the German Nikolaus (Santa Claus) granddaughter there, but for the sake of her granddaughter in the distribution of free food there was even a few young dads.

Kid's Kitchen. Dortmund.



On days when there is no food distribution, food is not idle. Cooking classes for children. Also free.

Courses for exchange of experience. Tauerbiskhofskhaym.



If you can not dial the similar courses children, be sure to find the grandmother, ready to share the secrets of their kitchen. Items that do not have to buy them.

But the main focus remains the issue of free products. Happy grandmother with two full bags of freebies. In a week or two is enough food.
