The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Good piece, I do think the argument against freeganism (a position I am somewhat sympathetic to) leans more on digust than thoughtful argument though. Especially given that landfill is an environment designed not to decompose.

I've never actually met someone that only eats animal products found in bins though /shrug
