I tried the spaghetti squash salad (using normal onions and lemon instead of sweet and lime) and I loved it.  You guys rock! Any chance you'll make another episode some day?

Oh, and it's amazing what stores throw out. For those of you who think rooting around in a dumpster is gross, Safeway leaves expired food (which they legally have to expire long before it goes bad, so it's still good) in crates behind the store, and it's very sanitary.

@baire702 Yea, some eployee busted me and my friend in dumpster diving. He was all like "Get outta my dumpster you punks!" So anyway, its good to be as reasonable as possible. We went home and tried again the next day.

To each his own I guess...

its cool to reduce global warming this way :)

It is better to ask for the remnant foods. Sometimes there are dangerous chemicals and acids and mercury in dumpsters. It is better to promote a tax credit for companies who donate food. I think about the people near the dump, the orphans who live off the dump. If we could save to help them have safe places to live, fresh water, parents and warm beds to sleep in. I can't help but wonder if some of our actions of food conserving come from their cries that are heard in spirit.

This lifestyle totally turns my stomach. What about the germs and bacteria flourishing that dumpster. {shaking my head....}

is the recession REALLY that bad? dumpster diving? do you know what people throw out on the same food you're eating? EW. my mouth would not go near a dumpster..

[thisvlogisforwilly]

Very true!

I agree, but still I think it's best to be gentle with food... you never know what you might end up storing for later use (having more than you thought you were going to use, etc..)
