The New Food Economy | Freeganism: food waste's first wave
Back in the late 1990s, before the birth of today’s high-profile anti-food waste movement (WastED, Feeding the 5000, ReFED), there were the freegans. Like today’s activists, freegans were scandalized by wasted food, but they took a more revolutionary stance that sought to undermine business and capitalism. Their dumpster diving both fed them and brought attention to the problem; at the same time, they hoped their boycott of formal economies took money out the pockets of capitalist elites.
