What amazes me is that the people involved in creating that website to promote this lifestyle actually thought that a picture of a woman in a dumpster was worth putting on the front page of the site.

Lolz, the hunter-gatherers of the 21st century -- how sad

So they don't need to work very much if they forage in dumpsters. Great. And what will they do with all their spare time? My guess is: smoke pot and/or pester other people to join them. Hurrah

the CNN article mentions that they work ... this is just an anti consumer/capitalism stance.

oh yeh, and since im willing to have a job in order to support my materialistic greed, i shouldnt mind supporting worthless bums who want to sit around and complain about society while simultaneously putting their hand out for help from the very people they hate! makes great sense to me, where do i sign up?!

Work sucks.

Digging for treasure/dinner (except boogers) sucks more.

 

[General Zod]

Friggin hippies.

One good point from that site: Food retail and restaurant industries waste a LOT of food and it is totally fucking ridiculous. They're right, a lot of people could be fed from the perfectly good food that is thrown out for really stupid reasons.
