Why Freegan?

Freeganism is an anti-consumerist lifestyle whereby people employ alternative living strategies based on "limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources". The website freegan.info states that freegans "embrace community, generosity, social concern, freedom, cooperation, and sharing in opposition to a society based on materialism, moral apathy, competition, conformity, and greed." The lifestyle involves salvaging discarded, unspoiled food from supermarket dumpsters that have passed their display date but haven't passed their edible date. They salvage the food not because they are poor or homeless, but as a political statement ( article from wikipedia website )

This freeganer is not come from a desperate people, but their in professional background. They do for their satisfaction and a idealogies.So why we'll be a consumer to the capitalist and they pressured our life everyday in the name of globalization.
