Dad's Dumpster-Diving Causes Family Alarm
Dear Abby hears two readers describing risky behavior and parenting questions. An elderly father rummages through grocery store dumpsters and sometimes eats found food, prompting safety concerns before a family gathering. Abby advises disclosure or alerting relatives and notes the freegan trend and risks of foodborne illness. In a second letter, a mother asks how to discuss her daughter's lifestyle choices with another family’s children without judgment. Abby counsels explaining family standards and avoiding debates with a 9-year-old.
