					<description>Thanks for that timely dissent. I just &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.wastedfood.com/2008/07/03/thursday-buffet/" rel="nofollow"&gt;wrote today&lt;/a&gt; (7.3.08) about how disagreement is healthy and necessary.

Dumpster diving is done by "freegans." As I said, it's not for everyone and clearly those who are "immunocompromised" would want to avoid this brunch. But since the people running the secret cafe warn diners of their practices, I don't think it's a big deal. The dumpster divers and cafe chefs been doing it long enough to know what they can and can't use.

I don't dumpster dive, nor do I advise others to do so. But I tip my cap to those who do, making use of our abundant discarded food.</description>

					<description>Look, I'm all for donated food from events, gleaning, lowering the amount of food waste, etc. 

BUT--serving people food rescued from dumpsters?  This isn't the first I've heard of it--isn't it called Freecycle or something--but how irresponsible.  Food poisoning of one sort or another, particularly for someone with other health conditions, someone who is immunocompromised, is a big deal, not just a few hours on the toilet.  

You don't address this at all, just roll along merrily....</description>
