I can't believe you think eating out of a dumpster is just sooo gross when you actually look at what they put in/on some of these foods and factor in the over packaging of most companies. Yes sanitary methods are important. A lot of freegans do grow their own fruits and vegetables. They also get things like clothing and non-food out of dumpsters. You'd be surprised the perfectly good things corporate chains throw out. Not to say they don't donate to food banks as well. Our church gets lots of donations from supermarkets. The dumpster part of freeganism is the controversial media selling aspect the public is fixated on, but don't knock it till you try it I say.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
