"A man will stand trial next month, after being caught taking some tomatoes, mushrooms and cheese from the dustbins behind a branch of Iceland.

"It is expected Paul May, a freelance web designer, will argue that he was taking the food because he needed it to eat, and does not consider he has done anything illegal or dishonest in removing food destined for landfill from a skip.

"... The Crown Prosecution Service [said] this month that the case would go ahead, because 'we feel there is significant public interest in prosecuting these three individuals'."
