Question:
They eat food they find in bins and are driven by conscience, not financial need. Meet the freegans.

According to the saying there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but freegans beg to differ.

They only eat food they can scavenge for free from supermarket dustbins. Most is only just past its sell-by date, some is still within it but the packaging has been damaged.

The freegan philosophy of “ethical eating” is a reaction against a wasteful society and a way of highlighting how supermarkets dump tonnes of food every year that is still edible.

They argue capitalism and mass production exploit workers, animals and the environment. For the most extreme proponents, freeganism – the name combines free and vegan – is a total boycott of the economic system.
