Food goes in mouths, people. Not in giant heaps on the ground.

After spilling over the evidence at hand, I would like to be the first to assert a professional theory explaining this supernatural phenomenon:

Our food has become sentient, leading it to escape our homes, offices and cities (some by sewer pipes), to reconvene in the wild where it originally grew out of the ground. It is here where it plans to burrow back underground together for cozy comfort and safety for the rest of time.
