  • But think about it- if you bought something, and it went past it's sell-by date but wasn't mouldy, smelly or gone off, would you chuck it? I know i wouldn't. Plus loads of freegans give food to the homeless, or run Food Not Bombs kitchens for the underprivalaged. It's more than people being stingy.

  • its so much more then just a boycot of food waste, our entire society is corrupt to the core, its caused directly by the monitary system. far to much to explain in a 500 word you tube responce. these people just see the truth and want to make a diffrence, hopefuly one day the rest of humanity will catch up and the need to eat out of dumpsters while living this life style will be obsolete. these people are pioneers.

    it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

  • Even if some are doing it to be stingy, more power to them.

    Show me the free-spending types, and I'll show you the person who is much more likely to be poor in the retired years.

    No one is going to reward you for all that money you spend.

  • Even the stores claiming to make good use of the food they'd throw out waste a lot of it. They typically only donate bread products.

  • this is crazy! It may be good that some clean food is being recycled, but I hope these "freegans" don't completely rely on this. This is more akin to freeloading than anti-capitalism in my opinion. >.>

  • Leave it for the homeless, they need it more than the capable educated ones.

  • Very good, thanks and congratulations! from south america

  • the garbage truck lol
