Free Food! How about it?
So I have been aware of the concept of Freeganism for awhile now. Freegans’ primary food source is your local grocery store’s discarded food. After hearing that you are probably imagining some unkemp homeless person rummaging thru a dumpster full of trash just for a discarded moldy head of lettuce. The people that source their food this way might be taking it to one extreme or they might just have the right idea. Most grocery stores will discard produce that has an expiration date that is soon to be under the idea that they won’t sell it and might as well trash it now instead of letting it take up valuable space. Some very successful organizations take this perfectly good (in most cases) excess food and cook it up and serve it to those in need. Though this is a little too extreme instance of low impact living for me. I think I’ll stick to buying what I can locally but more power to these guys.
