What do you think of freegans?
There is more to this philosophy than just scavenging, or 'dumpster-diving', which can be read here.
It is something people do to make a stand against corporations making so much waste, when people are starving from malnutrition, as well as a general stand against capitalisation, globalisation, e.t.c
I would be interested to see whether people on here find this gross, great, ridiculous, or whatever.

Care to elaborate, rad smiles?
and slipdrinkmats, people talk about more than just AFX. Many other people do and I am sure you have int he past. Sorry if you think I am 'trolling' or whatever... I am not. I am just trying to start a thread about something important to me and I value the intelligent input of the guys (and gals) in this community, so I am asking for their thoughts on it. Sorry if that annoys you.

dumpster diving is rad, altho i think combining the vegan ethos with a free ethos is unnecessary - they're two different subjects.
there's lots of those here in santa cruz, all those fucking anarchist fixed-gear-bike riding hipsters who wouldn't roll down their pant legs for anything, so you get tired of it pretty quickly.
i'm being so non-conformist i'm not gonna conform with all the other non-conformists.

you really are a tool, just trying to gain some sort of self boosting moral high ground, what have you done soo bad in the past that you feel you have to appologise to the world?
FFS drop all the hippyist bullshit and get on with your stinking life.

I guess this is not the best place to talk about things, as it falls on such deaf ears as those of you, gingaling.
Thanks for your input though, hed.
gingaling, hope you are content being such a grumpy old bastard. I think you are beyond help, so I will not reccomend it.
I don't feel I have any "original sin" or anything like that. I just think it is good to try to make a positive impact on the world. Obviosuly people like will try their utmost to stop me from doing that. I do things like this because it makes me happy, not because I feel I have any kind of "duty" to. I gave blood recently though, which I only mention as it didn't make me feel particularly good about myself, I did feel I had a duty to other people to try to help them out. Also, I don't have much money, so if I can get food, without destroying the planet, that is great.
For the record, I haven't been able to find anywhere that I have been able to dumpster-dive in yet. So I am not a freegan in that sense.

The one flaw in their ideology is this: If everyone in the world was a Freegan, there wouldn't be any dumpsters full of old food to scavenge.

if everyone was a freegan, people would produce food in a different, more ethical way, with less waste. Then people wouldn't need to dumpster dive. They would still be freegan, though- it is about more than dumpster diving. If you followed the link, you would know this. Smart arse. =)
