I'm down with that in principle. I like the way they just put the blame squarely on the shoulders of the profit culture in general rather than aiming at particulra industries or companies, just go for the root of the problem. I'm not brav enough to do what they do but glad to see people are doing it.

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure freegans are just 'vegans-unless-it's-free'
that makes it sound much more... fancyschmancy, for want of a better word.

[SIZE=-1] Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freegans embrace community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed.[/SIZE]

im wondering how these freegans can guarantee that the veggies they pick out of bins haven't come into contact with animal products.

 

[mazzyianne]

No, they don't have to, coz it's free. They can even eat meat if they 'find' it. Those are the rules...
Maybe not on that website, I cant be arsed reading it.

 

[broken arm]

i don't think it is anything to do with diet. as such.

it's pretty light hearted. i think you two need to lie down for a while.

 

[mazzyianne]

Lala... want to...lie down...for a minute.
