Kind of sad how much food goes to waste. I just have to look at my fridge a few feet away and I see stuff that we'll never eat.

I think the Freegans are great, but I'm not about to join them. I just try not to waste food, as most food is wasted from your home. Restaurants and other businesses avoid wasting food because, of course, it cuts into their profit margin... but they are required by law to toss certain things in order to comply with health codes.

:o Dude. That's taking swimming to a whole new level

Wow, it's really amazing what they find. I mean, they had even Sushi, not just some bread or squashed bananas.

I know a guy who's done that for a week, just to see what it's like (the same guy lived on the streets for a month for the same reason. He is weird). Anyways, after two days he found this industrial district and there he found goodies. Bread, meat (he didn't eat that, since he didn't know whether it was still good or not), cakes and even drinks.

We live in a constant state of wasting stuff. That's actually really sad.

:o OMG! I saw this on ABC News last week. But it is sad how much food is wated and thrown away. But I will never go diving for food, but diving in a dumpster behind a toy store yes

Freegans are awesome.

The freegan movement is a great one indeed. Too bad they will all die from severe food poisoning..:lol: i'm a vegan, though i will never be a freegan. I buy no more food than i am sure i will eat.

But i am a dumpster diver in other concerns.. Furniture, for example. When i was living in a squat one or two years ago i had nothing but garbage.. good garbage. People throw away the weirdest things. a friend og mine found a plasma screen, fully functional in a dumpster outside some snobs house..
