Do you fit that criteria? I don't know if all of the above applies to me personally, but I have been climbing into dumpsters throughout this great nation to acquire everything from personal hygiene items to laptops, and yes often for meals, for most of my life. I did so out of NEED, not GREED. When I was very young I made a conscious decision that I no longer wanted to participate in a system which puts a profit over the very people that it was designed to work for, or a society which accepts greed and gluttony as the norms. I didn't hear about any one calling themselves "freegans" out here in the alleys until a few years ago. Now I am not one to put on labels despite many having been put upon me, so I wouldn't call myself a Freegan, but rather that I am "Freeganish". That is to say that I agree with much of the Freegan lifestyle, as I have been living it before the term was even coined, even if it is not always for the same reasons.
