The term Freegan is the combination of two words - Free and Vegan.Vegans are ones who do not eat any animal products at all,but some freegans are called meagans because they consume meat and other animal products that would have gone to waste.
There are many freegans in America and England.These foragers are neither homeless nor destitute.They just reject the culture of wasteful consumption.They subsist on what people throw away.They do not like the way people throw a lot of food in good condition.According to freegan standards,the food thrown away by the stores are either nearing the end of their sell date or are bruised or damaged but they are still good to eat.Thus, they find food in the garbage of restaurants,grocery stores,and supermarkets.
Some freegans get free food by pulling it out of the trash.The others waits for a burly crew of a supermarket to toss bulging black bags filled with the day's trash at night.They gingerly open and dissect the contents inside the bags,then they take what they can eat or what they can use homes.They have the ideas that they save their environment and support their community.
What do you think about freegans?

Dear Motojojoe,
You are right.They are people who take food from the trash home.They don't buy food.The vocabularies may be difficult so you can learn from them.

Hi Teacher Pew

Dear Black Berry,
This topic is not difficult but I think vocabularies are your obstacles.

HI there...Teacher Pew
When I finished watch this clip I think"This is gonna be joke".But when I saw it again and then I realize that isn't a joke.How can the people who can even buy the things from supermarket but they chose to have a meal from the trash.If I were them I'm gonna throw up and die soon.
But I have to say to you that I'm not insult them because some reasons like they don't have any money to buy the thing or they boycott.But any way I still don't understand what is the Freegans. Could you tell me that in clearly.
Thank you.
And that is all I thought.
Dear Jade,
Freegans are people who like to find food from a trash.They are not poor but they do not like supermarkets throw their food away.If you learn more about them, you will find that there are a lot of occupations joining freegans lifestyles even students.
In Thailand,supermarkets do not throw the food away.They cook and sell them cheap.Understand?
Good to ask me like this.I am happy to answer.This topic is challenging.
Love,
Teacher Pew.
Thank you so much for you clearly answer kub
It's all about cultural differences. Thailand is rich of natural resources, especially fertile soil and perfect seasons that produce wondeful fruits, vegetable and crops. You guys've never experienced starvation like people from some countries. They suffer and starve in the winter that everything seems to die. There are no green, no lives and of course no food. If there are some, they will be extremely expensive. That's why we can see Americans keep their left over from dinner (even a little bit left) for next day. This kind of things shapes their lives from generation to generation. In my perspective, this is the way most western people are. They still do it even if they are rich. Money is not the vital factor, but obviously their attitudes.
I sometimes think that we are too spoiled that we don't appreciate what we possess. More or less, we really are. Do you think?

Hi~ A.Pew
Ah~~~~ That's a interesting one. Wah~ how could they?! why they don't just paper to some manager and just ask them not to throw they food? And just keep it in somewhere that not in trash~!
WOO~~~ they are so freestyle!!
But in the end. They look pretty happy for this~ So I'll not judging them. They have their opinion and so do I.
In somehow of my little mind, I think they're right. They see the important point that food is a big deal!!!
♦♦AM♦♦
Oh~ And I always love to read Ladawan's comment ♥_♥
Dear Am,
Awesome! Your ideas are wonderful.Anyway,everybody has his own opinions.There are different ways to look at the purposes between the supermarkets and the freegans.Can you find them?
Love,
Teacher Pew
Now I get it.
*Freegans*
Thank you
...
Can't believe that you spelled my name like that !?!? choose one : Ladawan or Laddy, but not Laddawan.
By the way, I couldn't agree with you more by that point. However, your students can experience the world without travelling like me from your teaching material. This blog is so fantastic. It provides the audience with updated information and general knowledge that not only improve their reading skill (and writing for someone who is brave and dares to take this golden opportunity), but also broaden their minds. Your teaching style makes the word "Teaching" beyond its definition. If your students know the meaning behind this online activity as well as participate in it by reading your articles and posting their opinions on this blog (without the FEAR that they may be wrong because there is no right or wrong to share ideas), they will find themselves are more confident in both using English and present their point of view eventually.
Hi Am,
Thanks for ur kind word. I like to read ur posts as well. With the great effort, you will reach ur potential finally. Keep going! The result is more sweet than you think, I promise.

Eating vegetables is reasonable for people who want to not eat. Would be to force him not to. We must learn to let them gradually.
