In the vegan livejournal community to which I belong, there are quite a number of people who call themselves "freegans", meaning they consume the animal products that would otherwise be wasted, much akin to dumpster diving.<br><br><br><br>
I know I'm guilty of this in a way; I don't eat any animal products, but my aunt owns a salon and gives me free bottles of shampoo, free makeup, and the like, some of which I would never spend money on because I know it either contains animal products and/or the company tests on animals.<br><br><br><br>
I was just wondering what you guys feel about the "freegan" movement. Their philosophy is they're preventing food and other items from being wasted, and they have no problem with consuming animal products as long as they don't pay for it. One person from the community mentioned he goes to the grocery store and takes as many free samples as he can, whether it be meat and cheese, or cookies.
