How does one tell if food in a dumpster is organic or not???
they specifically pick the garbage outside organic groceries and restaurants. i guess it’s not that hard to figure out.

Who’s Lawrence Welk???

you mean Lawrence Welk?
No OT? Fine. Service at this place really sucks sometimes.
Morning all. How were your weekends?
Anyone watch the Emmys last night. I watch little TV since my “programs” went off the year a few years back, so didn’t mean much to me, but I thought the “Born to Run” opening number was good.
rob, its botulism.
How does one tell if food in a dumpster is organic or not???
ugh those freegans. they arent even looking food to really survive… no…. they specifically try to find organic and high priced food :-/ , read the article, or the many about them. i find them vile as there are so many people who really ARE going hungry. dumpster dive for them! it’s not like most of them can’t afford to buy their own groceries. barf!
also someone brought up an interesting point on some other board about them. they really need to be careful about fly larvae in their food. but they are so skanky anyway they are probably immune to all that crap already anyway.
these people give real hobos a bad name. i hope they all get bochulism. and these places that are throwing out these supposedly great organic packaged meals… how about donating them to people who might really need them? people WILL come and pick them up, you dont have to rely on a bunch of privileged adult children slumming it to eat your trash. youd even be able to get a tax break from it if you go that route!
