Corinne, That's not me in the picture and I didn't (and don't) go out dumpster diving. I just came across this photo on Flickr. "Freegans" definitely take some risks, but they're usually pretty good at knowing what they should and shouldn't eat. But don't take my word for it, ask a freegan at www.freegan.info Rose,

Corinne,

It looks fine... is it food that is only a few days past expiration or seriously UNEXPIRED food...? What if its food that has sat out in the sun so they throw it away to be safe? Or produce that has been splattered with cleaning chemicals and you'd never even know... We had to throw stuff like that away in a restaurant because we could get seriously sued if someone got sick and they found us to be the negligent ones. If you got sick, you'd be out of luck. I want to know how good this food really is... we used to go dumpster diving behind this bakery cuz it was company policy to throw out the days bread... we'd find gads of good loaves and buns and pastries, but we knew (cuz a friend worked there) that the bread wasn't contaminated it was just "day old." How can you be so sure of eating this stuff? wait… so, is this pic of the dumpster food you got actually GOOD food… It looks fine… is it food that is only a few days past expiration or seriously UNEXPIRED food…?

Newsom shelters illegal aliens who have been arrested for other crimes who then commit murder. But yet, he'll send someone to go through your trash to make sure you aren't wasting food. Nice. At a press conference, he said they won't enforce the fine, so what is the point? Yeah, I love it. Newsom shelters illegal aliens who have been arrested for other crimes who then commit murder.
