Freegan

I had NEVER heard this term until I caught a small portion of the prime-time re-run of Oprah last night. There is no way in a million years I could do this. I couldn't find a code to embed it, so you'll just have to follow the the link when I post it (after I'm done rambling! LOL). The first 15 seconds are a commercial and then it gets into the Lisa Ling report. Now, I'm allllll for saving a buck when I can, but to literally DIG THROUGH THE GARBAGE for food is something I would only do as a last resort. You seriously see them taking bagels out of a black trash bag and dividing up who gets what, and their are packages of unopened fish people were taking (WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE TRASH!!!!!!!). I'm sure there are parts of the Freegan lifestyle I could try to adopt but after watching the dumpster diving in action, I have to say I'm honestly WAY too disturbed at this point to find out anymore of what being a Freegan is all about. I seriously almost lost my dinner at the idea of eating food out of the trash. Call me judgemental, but that is DISGUSTING!!

(you really should watch this though, you don't SEE them eating it, you just know they WILL)
