Freeganism in Sackville Update

Failure. Complete and utter failure. Don't get me wrong, it was fun to try, but it yielded none of the fruits one should expect. Every dumpster in town (asides from the family restaurants scraps bin, which I'm not yet hungry enough to pillage) was locked. Some were even guarded by security cameras. I guess, being a university town, they like every one else want to take a bite out of the students by denying them what goes to waste. No matter. Here is me on that night:



(sigh) perhaps I will have better luck where I live next. Good by Bag-town.

Gordan Freegan

From Drop Box
(part of my first freegan meal) I am becoming Freegan. What is a FreeganI am becoming Freegan. What is a freegan? Someone who only eats food that has been or will be discarded (food that one grew oneself is also considered within the freegan diet unless you’re a farmer). I will declare myself an official freegan when I have survived for one week on nothing but reclaimed food. Why do you ask? Mostly to subvert the corporate Kleptocracy but in part because I just finished reading Scott Pilgrim. Why would that make me want to become a freegan? In the Scott Pilgrim universe Vegans gain psychic powers by being vegan. Now, many freegans are card carrying anarchists, and they build a very strong sense of community and sharing. By embracing this way of living and contributing what I have I believe I will be able to summon anarchists, perhaps even angry mobs of them at will. It will be glorious.

MORAL SUPER POWERS FTW!!!!
