YOU'VE HEARD OF VEGANS, NOW MEET THE FREEGANS

Post by ToughGong »

A FREEGAN IS;
A person who consumes discarded food, especially an environmentally concerned person who wishes to protect the environment by waste reduction

A freegan is someone who has chosen to live a lifestyle which has minimal environmental and economic impact. The word is a portmanteau of “free” and “vegan,” as much of the philosophy behind freeganism is similar to that of veganism, although a freegan tends to be more extreme than a vegan. Although the term integrates the word “vegan,” not all freegans are vegan, though many choose to be because they were vegans originally, and they are not interested in consuming animal products. According to freegan ethics, every human has a responsibility to live a life which reduces exploitation of animals, natural resources, and other people. While many vegans agree with this, freegans argue that veganism does not go far enough, and that a purely vegan diet can still be harmful. Most freegans reject capitalist systems as part of this ethic, because they believe that capitalism is inherently exploitative.
