After the market closed for the day, all the unsold food in the streets was bulldozed into piles, swept away by wagon trains and disposed of. This was a time for a mad rush of people trying to pick up scraps and jumping on to the train. This meant that the poor were able to eat well. The gleaners are rapidly and thoroughly picking out perfectly fresh edible food harvested a few hours ago.
