"A lot of scavengers sell recycled food that they segregate
from other waste. It's common practice around here."
Three out of ten Filipinos in a population of 88.57 million

The Fidelity Millionaire Outlook, a 2008 survey of 1000 people
with at least $1 million in assets to invest, reports that they, too,
are feeling the economic squeeze. 19% do not even consider
themselves wealthy.

Garbage bags, perhaps.
