"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."

Dumpster diving

The practice of foraging in garbage that has been put out on the street in dumpsters, garbage cans, etc., for discarded items that may still be valuable, useful, or fixable.

Latest Update:

Been a little on the low side when it comes to diving lately as I did my 1 week liquid feast and wanted to avoid the obvious temptation of eating everything you find... but now I'm back hungrier and more passionate than ever!!!! :D

@jnart is on the seafood diet, if he sees food he eats it! ;)

@jnart using his psionic powers to charge the food! ;)

Dumpster Diving - Behind the Scenes.

Arriving at out favorite blue container providing an ever lasting stream of ~~trash~~ treasures...

Why do I Dumpster Dive?

Save the abundance of food that is wasted and share it with the world...
Minimizing costs enabling me to be non dependent on Fiat and can Power Up 100%...
Shine a light to bring awareness on how much food is wasted with our current system...
Great regular exercise biking and carrying a shit load of food as well as a huge karma boost...

Thursdays Weekly Meet-ups:

We meet up on Thursdays in the middle of the city to share the food we've saved during the week. It's a great way to meet, connect and support each other. We meet between 6-7 pm at the same time as the decentralized farmers market that I've initiated!

I also invite friends over to share the abundance of food, been doing it for many years now I make sure to always introduce them to the Steem blockchain and what is has to offer!

I've got great plans for 2018 and beyond and I'm working hard to achieve it. The Steem blockchain is the perfect place to create positive change as it rewards individuals that contribute to the community and humanity at large. I am wholeheartedly dedicated and committed to this and my intention is to create solutions for today's problems, unite humankind once and for all. The seeds have been planted, let us grow together...

It sickens me that people throw away useful, good food. Kudos to you for making us aware.

It's incredible to see so many pictures of perfectly good food that would have been destroyed if it wasn't for your efforts, such an honourable effort to go out and recover food like this to share out in the community helping the most needy out. Unfortunately this is an issue that is present around the world, mostly created by the bureaucratic nonsense that everything has to have an use by date as if people can not make their own informed decisions if the food is good to eat or not. I can understand it for foods that can make you very sick when they go bad, chicken, some meats, fish and seafood - but so much other food is wasted for the sake of a label that says it can't be used after a certain date - when it clearly can but people just throw it away because the date has passed.
