Listening to: The Oprah Winfrey Show
If you know me by now, you would know that I’m pretty fascinated by this American talkshow.
Anyway, today’s episode revealed this alternative lifestyle called Freeganism. In a nutshell, it’s a lifestyle that denounces consumerism. So how does one live this lifestyle? Well, through going to the rubbish dumps to look for discarded furniture (okay, at this point, some SIngaporeans actually do this right?)…but what was most interesting to me was that Freegans look through rubbish bins/dumps for… FOOD. Before you shout “Gross!”, the episode showed these freegans rummaging through garbage and coming up with pretty decent-looking food! like fruits (whole, not half-eaten), boxes of frozen pizza (within expiry date and still sealed in plastic etc).
