Foragers
People who support themselves by hunting wild animals and gathering wild edible plants and insects.
Modern foragers in the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa and the Ituri Forest of Central Africa derive the bulk of their day-to-day nourishment from wild vegetable foods.
Forage
To roam around a kitchen eating either ready-to-consume food such as potato chips and crackers or unprepared culinary components such as dry tortillas/bread/cereal/pasta, condiments that would normally be on top of something else, desserts, or cold leftovers. Food thus consumed is usually washed down with beverages straight from the container. Foraged food is exemplified by a lack of preparation and by its consumer standing or pacing while eating. Many a diet focuses on preventing or limiting foraging.
Foraged food generally requires less effort than bachelor chow or ramen to prepare for eating; anything more than a wrapper or a lid between countertop and mouth may disqualify the food as foraged grub.

Mom: what happened to the bag of croûtons I left on the counter for salad tonight?
Kid: *hides empty bag behind back*...I dunno.
Mom: Didn't I tell you not to forage between meals? You're going to make yourself sick. You're not a goat; don't eat like one. You're going to put on weight and stunt your growth. Back when I was your age...

corporate foraging
Corporate foraging is the act of scavenging meals in an office environment, thereby sustaining oneself purely on the food leftovers from lunch-time meetings. Frequently practiced by single adult males, but also observed within a wide range of demographics.
“Hey Andy, did you see the meeting with the two dudes on the third floor? They have three pizzas in there! There is now way they will eat all of that pizza – I think it is time for a little corporate foraging. We will need to be swift, because pizza is a hot commodity and the Marketing Scanvengers have been active on the third floor this week”
