  • what are the songs in this vid?

  • i am pentagon by the make-up, i wanna be adored by the stone roses, and consumer by shelter.

  • The only things I find odd is it seems if you found frozen dinners and what not that they would be spoiled (I was watching Oprah today and they were talking about taken things like that).

  • That is a valid concern, but from my experiences, they find their food merely minutes after the garbage is thrown out on the street from the grocery store. And of course, discretion is heavily weighed upon when selecting food, akin to how you use your discretion when buying the same food within the store. Thank you for your comment.

  • freegans aren't weirdos. they're helping the earth. every time they don't buy from a market or they don't eat out they become eco-friendly. don't call someone a weirdo who's saving your ass in the future.

  • the food hadn't gone bad!

    they checked the food to see if it was eatible. they didn't take the mouldy food.

  • Are talking heads in action, references in old books and scripts, in 1rd world, but here the way ...other way but the same target!

  • @reaperette I have some friends who took me on one of their runs, they say that NY has bad trash. You get sick easier there because some shops put rat poisoning on their trash. If you're really interested in Freeganism, try it in Canada first.

  • Awesome. I would love to go on a freegan tour of NY ome day.

  • i hope these people die

  • @ 6:35 is that a blunt? great vid though

  • if the markets would jusy mark a few items at 75 percent a day or so in advance of expiration, there would be no need to throw out in the first place and recoup some small capital

  • @jfulbright Good for you. Us Americans in the States here make up 3% of the world and make 65% of the worlds trash. A lot should be donated but the FDA steps in and says that dated food can't be sold after a certain date. Like starving people care if the food is after a certain date. What a waste, and very unnecesary too!

  • If they ate out at a reseraunt or bought food at the market they would be helping the ecosystem by giving business to the markets so more people can have jobs.
