	Freeganism - Definition, explanation
		Freeganism is the practice of minimising one's impact on the environment by means of consuming food that has been or is about to be thrown away by someone else (e.g., supermarkets).
		A freegan may obtain the food by asking a retailer for what is to be discarded or by taking it from waste bins, a practice known colloquially as "dumpster diving".
		Freeganism in itself does not mean a person is following a certain kind of dietary behaviour, though it is common that freegans practice vegetarianism or veganism, possibly for practical reasons as well as moral/philosophical; as discarded meat becomes inedible faster than vegetable matter.

	Freeganism - Activism
		The word freegan is derived from the words "free" and "vegan," and is derived from the observation that even a vegan lifestyle is not free of exploitation.
		Freegans recognize that because freeganism is far more expansive than veganism, while it is fairly easy to completely adhere to the traditionally defined "rules" of veganism, it is almost impossible to be freegan in all ways at all times.
		Many freegans are anarchists and identify with libertarian communist ideals of voluntary cooperation and mutual aid, and place a strong emphasis on forging socially and ecologically sustainable and egalitarian communities.

	Freeganism
		Freeganism is a total boycott of an economic system where the profit motive has eclipsed ethical considerations and where massively complex systems of productions ensure that the products we buy will have detrimental impacts we may never even consider.
		Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living, based on non-participation in the conventional economy, minimal consumption of resources, and embracing community, generosity, social concern, cooperation, and sharing in a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, and greed.
		Despite our society's stereotypes about refuse, the goods recovered by freegans are safe, useable, clean, and in perfect or near-perfect condition, a symptom of a throwaway culture that encourages us to constantly replace our older goods with newer ones, and where retailers plan high-volume product disposal as part of their economic model.

		Freeganism is an anticonsumerism lifestyle where people employ alternative strategies for living based on "limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources.
		Freegans' motivations are varied and numerous; some adhere to it for religious reasons, some for environmental reasons and others do it to embrace the philosophy as a form of political consciousness.
		Freegans find food in the garbage of restaurants, grocery stores, and other food-related industries, and this allows them to avoid spending money on products that they claim exploit the world's resources, contribute to urban sprawl, treat workers unfairly, or disregard animal rights.

		Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources.
		Freeganism is a total boycott of an economic system where the profit motive has eclipsed ethical considerations and where massively complex systems of productions ensure that all the products we buy will have detrimental impacts most of which we may never even consider.
		Just as freegans consider it an atrocity for people to starve while food is thrown away, we are also outraged that people literally freeze to death on the streets while landlords and cities keep buildings boarded up and vacant because they can’t turn a profit on making them available as housing.

	Freegan.info \| Meagan
		Freeganism is a really all-encompassing response to a wasteful, profit driven culture.
		Since freeganism seems in some ways more radical than veganism, some have trouble grasping the idea that people would be willing to do something as socially transgressive as eat garbage if they aren’t willing to do something as “easy” as give up meat.
		Literally millions of people are learning about freeganism, and, thanks to sympathetic media coverage, seeing freegans as serious people championing an important cause, rather than as freaks rummaging in garbage.

	Freeganism Totally Explained
		Similarly to veganism, freeganism is a philosophy of living, a range of living strategies, a community, a culture, and an ideal.
		Freegans find food in the garbage of restaurants, grocery stores, and other food-related industries, and this allows them to avoid spending money on products that exploit the world's resources, contribute to urban sprawl, treat workers unfairly, or disregard animal rights.
		Yet another criticism of freeganism is that it doesn't hold with Kant's Formula of Universal Law; if everyone were to adhere to the freegan lifestyle, essentially "living off" the tailings of Western society rather than being producers and/or consumers, the result would be the disintegration of society.

	David Rowan: Trendsurfing: Freeganism (The Times) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		Freeganism, the hip anti-capitalist's alternative to Ocado, has been attracting growing interest lately among the right-on No Logo set in America.
		Freegans in New York and Seattle claim to have subsisted for years by dining out surreptitiously at their neighbourhood dumpsters, undermining meal by meal the evil corporations' irresponsible pursuit of profit.
		Freeganism is not so much a cheapskate's excuse to avoid buying dinner as a deadly serious attempt to challenge society's boundless consumerism.

	Tigers & Strawberries » Freeganism: What’s Up With That?
		Freegans do see the irony of this situation, but their response is not to work to reduce this imbalance; they only seem interested in helping themselves to the bounty that can be found in the garbage.
		Freeganism is a product of a leisure society, because anywhere else in the world where people have to hustle for their daily survival, this sort of behaviour would never be tolerated.
		Freeganism has always bothered me–not the “reducing waste”; side of it but the fact, as you mentioned, that its mostly a bunch of anarchist brats trying to show how dirty and marginal they can be– a bunch of white boys trying to marginalize themselves for self-justification, or out of guilt or something.

	Freeganism revisited by The Veg Blog
		So the freegan rescues capitalism’s castoffs from the jaws of the garbage truck compactor, defying capitalisms definitions of what is valuable and what is worthless, refusing to let price tags and shelving displays fool us into overlooking the castoff bounty.
		And while the freegan can enjoy the liberty of indulgence in these goods, she is also mindful to never be too charmed by their alure to forget their history and to remember the ravages of the culture that produced them.
		In truth freeganism is seeing– it is seeing beauty and value in that which is ignored, seeing horror behind the lies of the powerful, and seeing an enduring vision of hope for a world alive, flourishing, and free.

	Satya May 06: Interview with Adam Weissman
		Freegans are building a culture where people voluntarily help and share with one another rather than competing for resources.
		The term freegan was created to express the notion that to live the “cruelty-free” lifestyle vegans advocate, we need to remove ourselves as much as possible from the capitalist economy, rather than taking the tunnel-vision perspective that we should only be concerned about animal flesh and secretions.
		Freeganism is a philosophy, an approach to living, not a set of lifestyle rules.

	Freeganism: eat from a dumpster is pink of fashion - Pravda.Ru
		“Freegan” is a portmanteau of free and vegan.
		In fact, the original freeganism was one of the most radical forms of vegetarianism.
		The freegans stuck to a vegan diet too yet they made use of a small loophole by saying that meat products could be consumed provided that they were obtained for free.

	New York Press - MICHAEL GRIMES - Dumpster Dining
		The activity is part of a larger social movement known as freeganism, which views capitalism as the primary force in destroying the environment and avoids the capitalist structure through such practices as eating discarded food, squatting in abandoned buildings instead of paying rent and refusing to hold a job.
		He is careful to point out that there is no “litmus test” for freeganism but rather a variety of lifestyle choices (such as dumpster diving) that are in alignment with the ethos of freeganism.
		The main part of his life not in accordance with traditional freegan ideals is the fact that he doesn’t squat, or live in an abandoned building, though he is quick to point out he doesn’t pay rent.

	World Wide Words: Freegan
		The idea behind freeganism is that you get as much of your food as you can from stuff that has been thrown out by supermarkets, restaurants and street markets.
		It’s more a political philosophy, a statement of defiance against what freegans regard as the wasteful consumerist culture of the developed world, which is why it has also been called ethical eating and the ultimate boycott.
		Some extreme freegan practices would be considered unacceptable by most people, such as table diving, in which freegans hover in a restaurant and grab discarded food from diners’ plates after they leave.

		A "freegan" is a person who chooses to eat food thrown away by stores and restaurants to avoid waste and limit their impact on the environment.
		This "gourmet freeganism" is more ironic considering that I am a clean freak that washes my hands constantly.

	Why the middle classes go scavenging in dustbins - Times Online
		The anti-capitalist freegans — the name combines “free” and “vegan” — are so appalled by the waste of the consumer society that they try to live on the leftovers, scavenging for food in supermarket dustbins.
		Adam Weissman, a freegan activist and sometime security guard in New Jersey, says freeganism grew out of the radical 1960s “yippie” movement but also has affinities with the hobos of the Great Depression who travelled around the country by stealing rides on the railways.
		Freegans often go “dumpster diving” in packs, delving into skips at supermarkets and restaurants.
