here you go - a couple of new food-related "lifestyles" - Freegans and Meagans

Freegans are not buying it
Freeganism is the latest alternative lifestyle that is gaining notoriety in places like New York and Los Angeles. Freeganism is defined as an anticonsumerism lifestyle where people employ alternative strategies for living based on "limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources." The lifestyle involves salvaging discarded, unspoiled food from supermarket dumpsters that has passed its expiration date but is still edible and nutritious. They salvage the food not because they are poor or homeless but as a political statement. Freegans claim that people sincerely committed to living the "cruelty-free" lifestyle espoused by vegans must strive to abstain not only from eating, wearing, and using animal skins, secretions (e.g., milk and its byproducts), flesh and animal-tested products, but must attempt to remove themselves from participation in the capitalist economy altogether as workers and consumers.
The number of vegetarians in the United States has been estimated at about 4 percent of the population — or about 12 million people. Estimates of the number of freegans, however, is anybody's guess. But the smart money says that it's nowhere near 4 percent of the population. It's also a misconception that all freegans are also vegetarians. Some freegans call themselves "meagans" because they will consume meat and other animal products, as long as they otherwise would be wasted. I guess those folks hang out at dumpsters behind Morton's or Outback steakhouses. Meagans are also willing to pay for vegan or vegetarian food but will only eat meat if it is free, thereby abstaining from the economic support of animal exploitation.

1. Dumpster Divers?

Not as clever as "freegans" and "meagans," though.

Interesting info. Thanks!
