Dogs eat their own shit.

Baby birds eat their parent's vomit.

True, but that actually has significant nutritional value. Dog shit and other junk food isn't eaten for it's worth as food, because it doesn't have any.

Dogs eat fucking everything, even chocolate, which is basically poison to them.

I couldn't agree more. By junk-food, I mean empty calorie food that's nothing but fat, sugar, and flavoring.

Protein.

I'll get more specific, then: pre-packaged "cakes" like twinkies; really fatty potato chips; boxed cookies; and especially anything ordered at a fast-food chain like McDonalds.

Rabbits eat their own turds. In most rabbit environments, water is not available (that's why they love to eat water-rich things like lettuce). The first time that foodstuffs go through the system, they exit containing water which the rabbit can't afford to lose. SO they sort through their droppings, and reprocess any that are moist.

I saw a report at one point (which I have debunked since) that Koala bears suckle on their Mum's shit. I am now reliably informed that Koalas have nipples like other mammals (located inside the pouch)

My dog likes cat crap. Lots of protein.


I had an employee once who would go dumpster diving. He never bought groceries. He knew right when the different stores would unload stuff. He bragged about getting whole cakes, cheeses, turkey, everything right when they threw it out. College kids can eat anything I think. Of course about every three weeks he called in sick on Monday cause of stomache issues. no joke, and he would say, "man I don't know what is up, I got some digestive issues." oh, it was classic. that is junk food.

Sounds like he's a freegan.

No, it doesn't - A Freegan, is someone who is otherwise Vegan, except when dumpster diving, which anything is up for grabs. If someone pays for food that isn't vegan or vegetarian but dumpster dives doesn't make them freegan, it just means they dumpster dive.

I started a thread about this ages ago but no-one responded.

Ah, western consumerism. Only humans couldd be stupid and gluttonous enough to throw out perfectly good food

As I've understood the concept, only eating vegetables is not a requirement for calling oneself a freegan.

Yes, well that's what happens when sub-cultures get thrown into the spotlight and appear as 'expose' on shows like Oprah -

Until recently, the only way I heard the term freegan was if someone was vegan, but would eat dairy or meat products only if they happen to find them in the bin (or table dived.. go into a mall's food court after lunch rush - food left everywhere!) - I guess you could look at it being short for 'vegan unless free' - Freegan

in short, if you purchase meat or dairy in the conventional over the counter consumer sense, you are not a freegan, even if at some stages you do happen to dumpster dive - but whatever. I'm getting pedantic.

I thought the emphasis was on 'free', try not to buy anything more than absolutely necessary, if you can get it for free, go for it. Some people took a known word, 'vegan' in this case, and changed it, simply because it gives people something to relate to unlike a fully newly "invented" word. Food is something everyone needs on a regular basis and the obvious place to start being anti-consumerist and 'vegan' nicely relates to food.

So far my thoughts on the matter.

I used to have a dog that would eat his own poo. Someone had the bright idea to try to train him against it by putting Tabasco sauce on it. He liked it even more. That's a life lessen for you young'uns.

There's a famous book called "Food for free".
A penniless friend once pointed out to me that it did NOT include walking around the market just after the stallholders had left, and picking up the fruit they couldn't be bothered to repack 'cos it was a bit squashed.
