We had our first experiences with dumpsterdiving a few weeks ago and it was indeed eye-opening. Deep down you already know how much gets wasted, but when you actually experience it... it's absurd that so many people live in poverty and with hunger, but still society thinks that it's okay to waste so much food.
I do admit that I'm not completely liberated yet. I'm 2 months pregnant and I have a hard time combining the two. I keep thinking that I harm my baby by not eating "clean" food. Pure societal mindblur, I'm well aware and working on it. Thoughts like that are forced upon us from a very young age and I notice now that it's a huge task to break up with those ideas.
But step by step we free ourselves from the fogs in our minds... step by step.
Thank you for sharing!
