degree in woman's studies i take itTaking Recycling way too far
She’s eating dumpster food to save money for travel.
Meanwhile, the homeless and the hungry are being deprived, and they eat dumpster food to merely survive.
Does she realize how extremely SELFISH and EXPLOITATIVE she is?/s
Whatever she’s eating, it’s way too much.
no one with any self esteem could live that way for long
Maybe she shouldn't waste her tuition then, and instead spend the money on traveling. When her mind is ready, she can go back to Oxford.

Used to be, restaurants would give unwanted leftovers to the poor in nice civilized containers.
Then the fear of regulators and lawsuits forced restaurants to dispose of unwanted leftovers and so they had to turn people away.
Regulations and fear of lawsuits even causes restaurants to turn away people willing to buy discounted surplus leftovers for their livestock. I used to buy truckloads of expired bread and cookies and such for my animals but then was turned away for such a reason. Finally the bread store decided to do it again but everyone who gets it has to sign a release that it’s not going to be used for human consumption.
So then the dumpsters end up with some amazing stuff in them that attracts the frugal, poor or not.
Willing to eat spoiled food? there’s a reason why it’s thrown away.
Good that she’s in the UK.
When she contracts (pick a nasty disease, like hepatitis) she can drain the pockets of productive people to pay for her healthcare so that she can return to her ‘hobby’.
Too bad the dumpsters don’t take coupons. And this would have killed S&H Green or blue chip stamps earlier than they were finished.

50 some years ago I found an unwrapped package of chocolate covered graham crackers in a dumpster. Didn’t notice the maggots crawling through those little holes until I had eaten several.
I have never eaten another graham cracker since.
The cost of her hepatitis treatments will more than offset what she is saving.
Why doesn’t this freegan eat human and animal waste too ? I mean has to be some nutrients that aren’t absorbed.
degree in woman's studies i take itI remember reading of a man and his grown daughter living out of dumpsters back about forty years ago. Their brag was they could live on an income of less than $1000 a year.
How much is that? - Google says $6.78.
Are there Walmarts in the U.K.? A 12-pack of Ramen noodles is $1.94 plus 5% sales tax at my local WM. They also sell cans of tomato soup for 50 cents a can. $3.50 + 5% plus $1.94 + 5%. - That’s two “soups” per day with some Ramen left-over. (do the bums ever get tired of soup? - Seinfeld)
And you don’t have to dumpster-dive. You DO, however, have to go into Wal*Mart......
I have heard of freegans before...long time ago about a group in Australia. I guess I would be too worried about germs from the dumpster, but I actually think it’s a neat idea as I don’t like unnecessary waste.
George Orwell already did this stunt long ago and wrote it up.
Well,it’s a good thing she has that outstanding “NHS” to care for her when she ingests some flesh eating microbe.
