    Comment: Wow, the author completely misinterperted the definition of freeganism. A freegan is someone who buys vegan, but will accept meat/eggs/dairy if it's free (such as at a family meal, a dinner party, any type of food-oriented gathering, etc) It has NOTHING to do with going green or dumpster diving--It just so happens that many people who are freegan also partake in those tasks.

    Comment: "are they a fringe group reminiscent of our primitive past or are they our carbon-neutral future? "
    Uh, no, they're bums. Not everyone can live for free or there wouldn't by any excess they could live from. Perhaps freegans themselves are the excess they claim to abhor, considering they don't want to contribute their labor or their dollars to our society.

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
