Statisticians suggest that over 10% of food purchased in the US is sent to waste, and that much of it reaches waste directly, without passing through any consumer hands. The practice of "freeganism" or "dumpster diving" sounds rather crass at the surface, but at a deeper level expresses something deeply counter-cultural. The video below is a CBC (Canada) segment of Ryan Beiler and his team making use out of society's discards... a wonderful gospel theme. You can read something of it over the God's Politics Blog. Freeganism has a strong community in Australia, such that it was reported in last Sunday's Herald Sun. Get a taste from the video.
