Re: Freeganism

I'm actually just back from getting food out of the skip. Today there were green peppers, baby carrots, organic blackberries, strawberries, bananas, fresh basil, sweet potatoes, mange tout and courgettes. All of them in better condition than the stuff at the market.

Sure, I give them all a good wash first, but otherwise, yep I'll eat it.

I don't do the freegan animal products thing meself, but I know people who've found salami and still in-date caviar and suchlike, which did them no harm.

Regarding the use of pig insulin (or the contraceptive pill which is made from horses piss, or all the animal-tested pharmaceuticals), it's up to the individual really.

The key issue with the eating of animal products is that we have a choice. If I were marooned in the Antarctic then sure I'd eat penguin to stay alive. For life-threatening illnesses I'd take the drugs, I reckon. But for situations of personal taste in food - ie just a matter of greed or convenience - I won't do it.
