So I'm watching Nat Geo channel the other night. It was a Taboo show and they have a piece on these people who call themselves "Freegans".

They scavage garbage for usable food and that is all they eat.

Yeah, friggin dumpster divers!

Freegans......who knew.

Where I come from we considered them BUMS!!

Hey man.........you might think this is funny; but I see it as a way to fight hunger (and to make a lot of money).

Think of this.........

1) Make deals with businesses and/or eventually "influence" congress to pass laws requiring that food trash be segregated at restaurants, cafeterias, etc.

2) Collect said trash and drive it to your "factory".

3) Puree the stuff and kill any harmful microorganisms, diseases, etc that may be growing in it.

4) Process it into edible food goo, flavor it, create texture(s), and package it for sale to poor people, cheapskates, and foodophiles who are looking for some new cuisine to rave about.

I know.....it sounds outlandish, but the Japanese found a way to eat **** not too long ago.
