Freegan


Feegan

I had never heard this word before until one day in may class. The teacher gave it to us in one paper sheet. The sheet said, “Feegan” I star to read and it and said this; ‘ A growing number of Americans are discovering that there is such a thing as a free lunch, says Erika Hayasaki in the Los Angles Time. It’s what the rest of us call garbage.”
“For lunch in her modest Brooklin, N.Y. apartament Madeline Nelson Tossed a salad made whit shaved carrots and lettuce she had dug our of a Whole Foods Dumpster. She flavored the dressing with miso power she’d found in the trash bag on a crub in Chinatown. She baked bread made whit yeast plucked from the garbage of a Middle Eastern grocery store. Nelson is a former corporate executive who can afford to dine at four start restaurant. But she prefers turning garbage into gourmet mealts we those spending a cent.” (Erika Hayasaki in Los Angeles Time).

In Mexico many people live like this they are feegan, but not like this article says it because the people that are feegan are the less fortunate. Some of the m is groups of families that do not have enough resources and they live in inappropriate housing. Feegan for example: In Mexico they are seeking for metal, plastic, paper, and then sale it. Then all of the food they pick is to eat. This food does not have expiration date, but it is good for them and they family. Most of these people live in hoses of cardboard or in the open air. The open air can be under a bridge, parks, and land fills. Those people pick the food in the land fills and the open air mark. The open air market can be in different parts of the city It market moves every day and every where.
The scene that I most remember is the one family. That family was really poor. The grandmother was looking for food in the air market at the end of the day. She brought some food like fruit and vegetables for her grand sons. In this for the grandmother was trying to help her daughter to raise her family. The globalization and the low wages prudes this happening. This story is not the same from the one I read in the article, but they do not the same thing, they dig for food to eat.
