Freegans and freecyclers are completely different. Freecyclers offer things to other people that they no longer need, and look to see if things they need are offered on the list before they buy.

Freegans (spoof on the word vegans) are people who try to eat everything, or almost everything, for free. They scour dumpsters of restaurants, grocery stores, etc, for thrown out food. There is a REASON this food is thrown out. The FDA has rules on how long produce and leftovers can be kept. This is to prevent people from getting sick! This idea completely icks me out. I'm not just talking about homeless people who have no other option. It's a "green" movement.
