'Social fridges' open as poverty rises

With hardship rising due to job cuts and inflation, Argentina has adopted a scheme from Europe's economic crisis: putting food in outdoor "social fridges" for the needy.

"I was sick of seeing how food got thrown away and then shortly afterward people were foraging for it" in the trash, said Luis Pondal, a restaurant owner in the northern city of Tucuman.
