You all should read Evasion. It was written by some young anarchist punk in the 90's. He made his way around the USA on leftover food and handouts. Pretty interesting read.

I said this in the other thread but I have gotten some food from dumpsters like Little Ceasar's pizza (they have a deal, $5 for a large pizza, so they always have a few extra at the end of the day, they put the boxes in a big clean bag too before they put it in the dumpster). I actually haven't gone since the run-in with the popo, but I might go again soon. There is also a Shari's pretty close, I'll have to check that out.

You only go for stuff that is either still sealed up in plastic, or fruit and vegetables. You don't eat the skin of the stuff you pull out, you eather cook it or peel of the skin, so what you are eating was never actually in direct contact with anything in the dumpster. Your biggest concern is makeing sure you wash your hands after retrieveing th food, no the food itself. There is a stigma about it and it's certainly not socially popular, but when your hungary in a pinch it's not so bad. Better than being hungary anyway. I was pulling brownies out of a 7-11 dumpster once and a girl sitting in her car in the parking lot saw me, and told my friend she would give me a couple bucks if I got out of the dumpster, so I grabed my brownies, took the money, went inside and bought a fountain soda, and had a sugary supper. I've also gone to fast food resteraunts and out-dore dinning resteraunts and waited for people to leave thier leftovers, and then go snatch them up once they split. The employeeys at most place's hate this shit and run you out of there pretty quick, but you still get your food most the time so it's no big deal. I did know a denny's while I was on maui that would let my friend and I help ourselves to the stuff people would leave if we would come late at night, they thought it was fucked up, sure, but they did'nt care if thats what we wanted to do. Shitty deny's pancakes are the best when you're really hungary and they're free.

and my girlfriend is always trying to convince me to go dumpster diving with her sometime here in Aarhus, but i have yet to try it... (done it in the states, but of course!)

I don't think it'd be too hard going around the country, living off of free food and handouts!

Growing up, these people that lived a few houses down from us would always leave there side door into their garage unlocked.
So whenever we knew they weren't there, a bunch of my friends and I would raid the fuck out of the fridge they had in there. Taking all kinds of sodas and shit. Good times.

yeah unlocked garages used to be fair game when i was younger, but only for beer though... i dont think i could ever let myself get to the point where i needed to go to dumpsters to put some food in my stomach
although if i ended up a broke crackhead one day, then i might let myself jump in a dumpster or 2- no offense to those that take enjoyment out of it and save a few bucks in the process, just not my bag

I do it when I want to travel for free. I love to get on the road and see the world, I also love to not have a job. This is a recipe for dumpster necesity.  It goes a little further than being a crackhead or wanting to save a few bucks.
I also love hitting up soup lines and free meals. They're usually better than what I got at home anyway.

lol, i'd love to not have a job too, but then i'd feel like all the people without jobs i see on the side of the road on the way to work in the morning
i'm sure having nothing isn't as bad as i think it is, but i don't understand why people would want to live in this manner... i can picture myself dumpster diving and seein some 5 year old walkin down the street w/ his mom pointin at me. wait, i wouldn't be able to see it cause my face would be buried in 
this thread is crazy

the people you see on the sides of the roads in the morning holding signs, in general, have no motivation as well as no job. They have become content in the lifestyle they lead, and it has become stagnant. What seperates someone like myself from that image is motivation and purpose. For them this is a lifestyle, for me, it's a resorce. 
I only do this shit when i'm traveling. I'm in one spot now, about to go to school, and looking for a job. I always make time for travel, and instead of spending all my money on it, I try to be as self sufficient as possible, and usually get it done close to free. It's about being resorcefull and not leting pride or finances steal my good time and enjoyment of life.

you have a nice outlook on life... i wish i could not let the pride/finance/image shit control me but i don't think i'd be resourceful enough to be able to keep living the way i'm living now (and i like where i'm at); however, next time i travel, i will try this out and see what my friends think 
just glad to hear your not sitting around watchin tv eatin muchrooms everyday and that you do go to school, work, interact w/ others, travel, etc. i get depressed hearing about people like that

this one time in the mother earth dumpster we found a whole case of silk soy milk in the individual containers, unexpired and very yummy. accompanyied with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, babanas, and packaged blueberries! what a score indeed. props to you and your dumpster divin skills!
-------------------- A plethora of music aspirations control my temptations of future revelations beyond "now". The percussion, and the heart beat of my love and devotion. The rhythm goes beyond, prying into the third eye, releasing the creativity held so far inside. The melodicies, through the out of tune pianos and broken classical guitars...there lies a beauty. A beauty as prevelent as the fire inside. To release these energies is pure ecstacy, to deveop these gifts is sacred. The vocality, so pure as can be, shying away from herself, lies within me. For the underlying serenitity, this is what I live for. I plea for harmony, and nothing more. Music equals love. Creation of love leads to the procreativity of the World, and it's spirals and puddles prevailing.
