Comments on: Freeganism – The New Frontier http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/06/19/freeganism-the-new-frontier/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I wish I could move to an island and build a hut out of straw. The ammount of waste is unfathomable and disgusting. I wish I could move to an island and build a hut out of straw.

I wonder that too! :o Hi Angela-Oh you poor thing! That must have been awful :( Yes it's not for everyone and certainly not for anyone that is vulnerable health wise just in case. Hi Sasha-Exactly, I'm sure give the option plenty of people would sign that. Yes common sense is essential! :D Hi Milan-Ahh that’s very interesting! I wonder that too! :o

Shops will always throw food. I'd rather sign a declaration form not to sue them in case of food poisoning and take thrown away food. And most of it is in good nick anyway. Just use common sense. If I lived in the country I'd grow my own but in the city I'd take it any time for free. I’ve seen it too many times. Shops will always throw food.

Never heard of this before, even though I live in US. I would have to opt out, though, having had food poisoning four times since moving to Nashville from California. Two of those times were so severe I thought I needed to be hospitalized. Luckily I was healthy, but such an attack could have killed someone else. But, I do appreciate the article. Interesting.

There is some criticism from few, about health and hygiene issues. The only puzzle in my mind is, what happens to the meat. I come across packages which once contained meat every night. But they are empty, only blood stains. Are the supermarkets repackaging and relabeling them? Or are the employees taking them? Milan Melbourne I have been dumpster diving and it’s great.
