RE: The Dumpster Dive Challenge! Win 10 SBD!!
Yes, I have heard the term. However in this Country it is against the law for stores to give food away that they wont sell. which is totally stupid. like I said I have worked in them. The large chains were just as bad as the small retail. I sadly have been forced to throw out tons of food. Also worked in a restaurant. Same nonsense. Perhaps a better term could be used, since sadly I have seen people looking for things in dumpsters. I dont need to do this, but I do give to the local food banks in large quantities. Also anyone who wants can have what I grow here for free, or I will barter.
People seem to think its all about MONEY , "If I have enough money, then why should I buy food?" and the phycological game of the ego creeps in also.. Heres a great example of the mentality of our conditioned mind, A friend said to me in England "if I didnt have to buy food , I dont know what id spend my money on."..
One time I was getting food from the regular food container, and a worker came out and had a go at me saying I was a tramp, I should get a job bla bla bla or should I say Baa Baa Baa. I asked him a personal question - how much money do you have in your bank account? He didnt answer. I walked over to him and produced my neck pouch from under my tshirt, and pulled out 5000 euro in cash as i was working at the time on a building project. I fanned the cash out under his shocked eyes, and I said, "it dosnt matter how much money I have, why the hell should I go in the store there and support this insanity, the food is poisoned with chemicals and im expected to work for it when its here in the trash?"
We all decide how we live, you can either stay in the box of society, or you can live alternativly exactly how I , and many others are doing and have done. The world is far from what it seems :)
edit , i get the feeling as you grow food yourself that youve already gone abit away from society?
That's great you did that. I agree - it doesn't matter how much cash you have, if you can get stuff through other people's waste, good on you. We've always had enough to get by - never needed exactly to dumpster dive but we did coz it was there and we had money to spend on other things, like making the truck liveable and saving cash to get to Australia and so on. And yeah, why do we have to work for stuff they throw away?
Thats exactly what its about for me, if I work, I dont want to pay to live. I want to pay for things that will improve the quality of LIFE and not just to keep me alive in a slaves world!
Yes!!!
I am not mainstream, and live partially off grid..I am very careful what I purchase, where and how, I have removed myself from mainstream society about 60%.
Imagine to go all the way to 98% then you'd be a proffesional recycler for sure (thats the term thats lighter on the ears :) )
