Pearson Carrot & Celery Sticks Snack Pack (8 oz.)
Item Purchased: Pearson Carrot & Celery Sticks Snack Pack (8 oz.)
Location Purchased: Dominick's / 1340 S. Canal / Chicago, IL
Price: $2.29 + tax
Review: I only needed a few short stalks of celery to mix into my bean salad, so I decided to buy this snack pack to reduce waste. Munching on a few of the carrot sticks as I chopped up a few of the celery sticks, I felt a swelling of pride that I wasn't wasting as much food as I could have. Or maybe that swelling was the slight allergic reaction I get from days-old vegetables that are slightly dried out and dusty from being wrapped in plastic. Not bad, but not entirely great.

Funny you should mention wasting food in your posts about the bean salad. I just ran acros this site today:
http://www.freegan.info
"A Site Dedicated to Revealing Human Over-Consumption and Waste"
I'm not affiliated with it, but just ran across it this morning, before checking your site. They're pretty militant...
Freegans have always interested me because they make use of available resources. I don't completely believe in a society without profit or economic choice, but I am strongly against exploitation based on economic or social measures. Freegans are a necessary checks-and-balances system that draw extreme attention to wasted resources and I applaud them for it, even if I can't subscribe to their entire philosophy.
Quite simply, Freeganism is the best thing to come from crust punk dumpster-diver culture. It is a group of people who I initially want to say "get a job" to, but, in my eyes, they are performing a service to society in their own bumming ways.
