I think there a are lot of people who would never
think of just going to the store and buying potatos or
beans and living on that.  Guess it is part of the
"out of the box" thinking even if suggested to them I
think vary few people would see that as a possibility.

I had one period of hunger in my life, other people
could see that I wasn't getting enough to eat.  I
could have gotten help but decided that I would get
myself out of the mess I'd gotten myself into.
I had no cooking facilities  to just make a pot of
beans.  It never occurred to me to check dumpsters but
I can assure you if I experianced that again I would
not hesitate to.
