Veganmav eats his food out of the trash: discuss - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

I have moved up to 100/200 limit holdem.
I am running fine.
I haven't paid for food in almost a month.
Me and a buddy are having a contest to see if we can go 2 months without paying for food.

I have gotten 95% of my food out of the trash.

(the other 5% is mostly condiments that we already had in the house)

yes i am vegan, and i think there is a misconception about food from the trash.

i mainly go to stores, not resturauants
so i get unprepared food and prepare it myself

i had bagel with vegan margarine and jelly for breakfast, also waffles, i got pizza sauce, pizza dough and veggies so i made vegan pizza, i also made pasta salad, lots of fruit smoothies, um yeah etc. etc.

generally pretty good eating.

You sound like you're on pace to be an obese vegan.

Yea, i was gonna say there is really no misconception about food from the trash. It's from the trash. Trash is where people put things that are too big/gross to flush down toilets. End of story.

its more of a statement on how much waste there is in our society that one can live healthily just from other's waste.

also it leaves almost no "eco-footprint" or something. almost no negative impact on the environemnt, and almost no drain on resources.

also it saves money

and its lotsa fun!

eco-footprint statistics are useless garbage. Discuss!

also if picking through trash is lotsa fun perhaps you would be better suited to the job of "sanitation engineer"

Is the simpsons accurate when they say that pizza boxes are a great source for cheese?

sure..
but pizza hut and papa johns are common places we hit up to get some good pizza/breadsticks pretty consistently...
at the end of the night, there are often pizzas that are thrown away cus some idiot never came and picked up their order
