@usaf317 if ur so desgusted then dont participate but dont u dare hassle nyone for trying to make a difference..waste is a major problem n here u r critisizing ppl who want to help change that. U feel that theyr sacrificing their health but unless u have a personal connection to ny of thes ppl then I dont see how it effecting u...let them do want they want n if u dont want to b involved then do presicely that
(2) No the world is not saved by scavenging a few tomatoes but it highlights the issue that a LOT of food is thrown away for no reason and that in a world where so many are starving.Is the food gross? Its all a matter of geography. A few hours ago that food was on a shelve in a store.Now it's moved a few feet out of the store and is no longer useable?
(1) Its frustrating how some people insist on being negative about this and can't see past their own prejudice. Freegan in NOT about being a freeloader etc.Its a counter-reaction to a long period of consumerism and how resources are abused.
@Leablak your whole freegan lifestyle carrys over into other areas of life....you dont want people to own property or control land or any material wealth.....your crazy people
I did my first little tiny bit of freeganism the other day, I got a tip on a bakery and went and got a really nice fresh loaf of bread from a very expensive bakery, I could have taking 20 but I cant eat 20 loafs of bread. I'm interested to see what else I can find. Not sure i'll go so far to cut the bad bit off the apple though! C'mon man!
I prefer the idea of "sharing" to eliminate waste. Give what you don't need. Waste management: before food goes bad, make a soup out of it or a casserole. But protect your health. Don't eat out of a garbage can where they are pouring rat poison. Rats and mice themselves leave a trail of urine and fecal matter everywhere they go because they can't hold their bowels. Flies and roaches carry horrible viruses and diseases, some of which are heat resistant. Just something to consider.
@Blackeze this is the shit we fed to the hogs on the farm. now i just compost it and till it into my garden. here we are as a society trying to move forward into the 21st century and these people want us all to live like man did 3 thousand years ago ..scavengers!
@usaf317 Sadly here in the 21st Century we are no more advanced than the ancient Greeks. Sure we have technology, but really nothing else has changed. I don't think "these people" want us to live like primitive man but rather to realize we have a choice and to exercise out freedom to deviate from the norm. Live and let Live.
@Blackeze thats fine...but when one of them gets sick from eating out of the trash like rats....who will pay for there medical bill? ..since they have little or no income. ..the tax payer will have to bail there stupid freeloading asses out once agian. i say if they get sick its on them...no money? no healthcare? tough shit
@Leablak i grow my own food so the cost is pretty cheap. if you are getting things for free thats great. eating out of a trash can is disusting and not healthy. more people get sick from restaurants because the number of people eating in them as compared to eating out of trash is far greater. i am sure if you did a study involving only freegans i think you would find the rate very high.
Well now I know who's beating me to all that furniture on craigslist.
Personally I'd prefer to start a garden or hunt sewer rat, but I respect this much more than people leaching off of the government(people that don't NEED it of course)
Without capitalism, the rich people couldn't buy clothes and food to throw away for the freegans. I don't think I could do it, I like new shiny things that I don't have to work too hard for lol. But power to the freegans!
these people are fucking idiots. inb4 they all get diseases

Yeah! Let everyone work long hours to make the money to BUY what they need/want I'll choose working less and getting a lot of what I need for free.

@usaf317 You just feel bad because you can't handle someone getting stuff free when you don't. It's kinda greedy not to mention selfish.
More people get foodpoisoning from restaurants than from eating like this.

@Blackeze What do you know about ancient Greeks? Maybe you know about ancient Canadians. But definitely no about Greeks.
You think that ancient greeks were eating from the garbage?
