Matty being a freegan

[Benjamin]

What’s your views on it?

[Denver]

Tbh so many places throw out good stuff, especially seasonal stuff that could go to charities or what not.

I've seen tiktoks of people dumpster diving and finding brand new household items and food in date for months

[Cherie]

I don’t think he has properly fallen for his partner, he is in lust rather than in love I would imagine once he actually falls for someone he will not be so keen to share

[Cherie]

Oh :omgno:: should have googled freegan :joker:


Go for it I would say :laugh:

That wasn’t the question. :p

The answer more than covers this berk

[vesavius]

He is that guy that you avoided at parties when at Uni because he gave you such second-hand embarrassment.

Plastic middle-class hippies are the worst.

I mean it often feels like the guy just looked up a Wikipedia list of alternative lifestyles and checked all of them off to make himself feel special.

All I know is that all the pseudo-intellectuals read 1974.

What the actual eff is a freegan?

I know I can just Google it, but when has that ever come up into any kind of conversation?

He eats food out bins that are still in date , basically supermarkets waste a ton of food .

[PoppyC]

I had to look it up, but I think it's a good thing to do. Even if Matty is using it to make himself look good, he's still helping the environment

Oof. :yuk:

I know it’s still in date, and I can understand that it is good to avoid food waste, but there’s something about rummaging through bins to get those foods that makes me feel a little unsettled there!

That's why I wouldn't do it. I mean, the in-date food is fine, but what else is going to be in there?

[MTVN]

And this is a doctor?

Maybe Matty is the makeweight in the relationship and has no real say in matters

Yeah you deffo won't get me searching through bins either , i don't even like the idea of searching through skips !..... despite people finding the odd treasure, but the thought of jumping in a skip or bin... just not for me :omgno: .

[Redrose]

I saw a guy do this on a TV show. He got all his gifts for family and friends out the skips and even his Christmas dinner. Even managed to find a mini tree.

This does sum him up it seems

Why do your supermarkets throw away in date food? That seems crazy to me. I've worked in plenty of food retail situations and it would never happen.

It is crazy, I don't know why they waste all that food either.... they should just send it to homeless shelters ,and people living on the streets :shrug:.

I guess they won’t want to risk being sued if someone got poorly or even just tried it on

He can enjoy the germs.

[bots]

Matty is just a pretentious twat that likes to look edgy at the same time. I would happily call him a twat to his face

[James]

I've never raided any bins but I use the app Olio to get free food, that is at the end of its Best Before or Use By date.

I have also used 2 Good 2 Go app.

[Ammi]

…I recall watching a documentary about it one time, quite a while ago…it’s a lifestyle choice that seems to have grown over resent times and those who follow it seem to be thriving and healthy etc…so it really is food for thought…/…no pun intended…

I dont think the food is as these end up as yellow sticker items, they are items that have just gone out of date, these cannot be donated to food banks due to Health and Safety

It depends if the food is marked with a sell by or use by date. Sell by is still ok as the food doesn’t need to be actually used by then a lot of the time.

[James]

You can freeze a lot of foods before their Use By date and use them later.

[Benjamin]

It’s actually technically illegal still in the UK. I only know parts of USA and Australia where it’s legal.

[bots]

I would have thought that it is a serious health issue for food that includes a use by date that also requires refrigeration. Thats asking for trouble

Also, i always smell food before i eat it irrespective of use by date. Thats a more important indicator than anything else

[Liam-]

He’s probably just a cheap bastard

[Oliver_W]

I've got nothing against Freegans, tbh I wish I had to balls to dabble :joker:

BUT from what I've seen at least it does seem to be middle class wankers who partake, I've not heard of actual poor people doing it.

And it's needless to say, I bet it would be a lot heavier stigmatised if they did...

This was what alot of people use to mix up, ' use by' & ' best before ' , alot of food getting thrown away will be ' best before ' ,and technical still ok ... just not as fresh.

[Kazanne]

People complain about there is not enough food to feed families ( which is a load of balony imo,but)The UK wastes approximately 9.52 million tonnes of food every year.,so if good food can be found in dumpsters etc if its clean and in date so be it, I wouldnt use it as stick to beat someone,
