Veganmav eats his food out of the trash: discuss - Page 13

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.

You eating out of the trash does not leave no "eco-footprint". The amount of food produced will not go up or down based on whether or not you or your friends eat out of a dumpster. Congratulations, you are succeeding in doing absolutely nothing.

I'm not claming to fix world hunger or anything.
But eating out of the trash leaves less of an eco-footprint than buying food for example.

I'l be honest, I've never read this thread and always assumed you eating out of the trash was some funny big time prop bet....but if you're seriously doing it cause you're a hippy then I'm severly disappointed

Caring about things other than money, sex, drugs, and image makes one a hippy now?

I don't own tie-dye.
I don't do any drugs.(not even marijuana).
I own a car.
I live in the city.

This forum is all about promoting the 'balla' lifestyle, silly. Your attempt at living outside of that norm is being predictably punished.

Money + Sex + Consumerism > Your attempts at living a morally respectable existence.

Also, please realize I was saying all of that tongue-in-cheek. I have my worries about the types of lifestyles which a lot of the more successful young guys on here are falling into.

You shouldn't worry about someone randomly calling you a hippie without any real argument to back it up.

I have not taken any girls "on a date" since the last time.

I have never had sex in a dumpster.

i just read the OP, but i do have a question

assuming you play(and i assume win) Limit 100-200. I can see the point in eating out of the trash, since its obviously saving a ton of money. But: do you think it's fair to all the regular broke Bums, who's food you take away, since you could clearly afford to actually buy your own and they cant?

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.

I feel like this isn't the image most people get in their heads when they think "dumpster-diving."

aren't you worried about getting sick? I mean...what if they threw out the "insert food item here" because it came in contact with uncooked pork etc.?

or do you cook ALL your food?

I am not worried about it.

I've been doing it for 10 years and haven't gotten sick...

I think risk is equal to or less than getting sick from eating at an average restaurant

how much of an eco footprint does online poker leave?

why don't you just use some of your considerable wealth to buy locally grown organic produce and support sustainable farming practices instead of trying to prove some sort of point to someone by living off modern society's waste?
