FREEGAN: When Vegan isn't enough.

I recently heard about a new type of "aware" eaters. Flavour Fiascians, meet: THE FREEGAN. This isn't an "bad economy" thing, people want to do this!

They aren't your typical Vegan. They're budget minded, environmental conscious eaters who won't let chain grocery stores waste an ounce of food. How are they doing this?

THEY'RE PICKING THROUGH TRASH TO GET DISCARDED FOOD ITEMS.

The best part is, they're not destitute people. They have good homes, jobs, and lives.

Sure, minimizing waste is great. But rolling in it isn't really my idea of fun. Saving tossed food isn't really a crime, but trespassing to get it sure is, plus, don't you think it's a little humiliating?

  1. Wow...that's the first word I could think of haha, definitely not the post I was expecting. Even the discounted shelves at Valu-Mart, Loblaws and the Real CDN Superstore are pretty scary at times...kiwis that are as mushy as mashed potatoes can't be good for you? I don't like to waste food, but don't these people get sick?

    Maybe you can think of some recipes for rotten food Nick?
