Not sure what the New York Times is trying to do. I guess create 'compelling cultural content' that is sharable + can 'drive mad hits.' Anyways, they made another zany article about 'hipsters in Brooklyn' have 'started to' 'dumpster dive' behind high-end grocery stores. Feel like when I am hungry 4 food, I just go 2 the store and pay for it.

Can't imagine riding the freegan wave [via salmonella waves].

Not sure if this writing is 'real.' Maybe NYTimes is now just some sort of complex art piece/satirical commentary on modern journalistic techniques:

The Dumpster divers started their bicycle run just after nightfall on a summer Friday, rolling through the steamy streets of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, stopping only to dig through trash bags and pull out produce. They wore plastic gloves for the messier bags and used a flashlight on the darker stretches of sidewalk. Then they loaded their finds onto a cargo bike, retied the bags and cycled on.

The goal was to find enough food to supply an every-other-week gathering called Grub, which one founder has described as “a cheap, simple dinner for friends and co-conspirators.” It is a communal meal created from food that would otherwise have been wasted — and that many people might not deign to eat.

Feel like I'd rather go to a gathering called "Grub" if it was hosted at Golden Corral / Chili's / some franchise chain with quality control.

h8 freegans sooo much
Wish they were forced to get Costco memberships and just 'load up' in the bulk. Not sure how I feel about members of society who are happy to 'just eat discarded leftovers.' We really need a society filled with people who want to eat at fancy steak houses every night so that we don't lose 2 the Chinese in WW3.

Here is some paragraph where they romanticize the 'amazing items' that they found. Honestly feel like u have a 'better selection' when u go into the store and browse, instead of just looking in some trash bags:

So Jessie Martens grabbed a bruised cantaloupe and some shiny heirloom tomatoes from a curb in front of a supermarket on Union Avenue. Eric Levinson found bottles of organic juice being discarded outside a building near the Pulaski Bridge. And on Bedford Avenue, Phoebe Gray and Eric Lewis sifted through seven bags of trash before uncovering a bounty of kale, blackberries and peppers, as well as a punctured avocado that Mr. Lewis called “premade guacamole.”

Wonder if my local grocery store can start offering 'pre-made guacamole' by puncturing avocados in the fresh produce section.
Really just want to get 'more sustainable', live a 'greener life', and utilize

Is 'dumpster diving behind Whole Foods' a better solution than 'shopping at WalMart'?
Do yall prefer super-sized non-organic produce + meat + poultry?
Might just buy some non-organic boneless, skinless chicken breasts and make a meal.

Feel like this might have been some sort of 'produce placement' inspired advertorial. Kinda just want to buy some pita chips and TRIBE HUMMUS. Maybe I can dive in2 a dumpster and find a smart snack.

They tried to make it seem like they 'crafted a gourmet meal' out of the trash food. Not sure if I believe that they 'scored' all of that food.

Wonder if homeless people know how to make 'gourmet meals' after they dumpster dive, or if they just eat raw meat to stay alive, like some sort of authentic urban animal/savage.

Worried that they are portraying this place as some sort of indie/alt/crusty form of 'heaven':

Songs by Alex Chilton and Charlotte Gainsborough played through speakers. Ornaments and cardboard cutouts in the shape of stars and planets were suspended from the ceiling with ribbon, and a breeze blew through a skylight. Kale and sweet potato stir fry sizzled on a stove. Somebody made a jumbo salad. Somebody else uncorked a bottle of wine.

Should they open a restaurant and charge 'high prices'?
Do yall know people who 'do this kind of shit'?
Do u wish they'd just go vibe out at a pizza buffet?

Here is how the night/article ended. Seems deep.

The light faded. People took turns playing a mandolin as trucks rumbled in the streets below. As darkness fell, the dinner guests climbed back down the iron ladder, carrying empty plates and glasses.

Have yalll ever been dumpster diving?
What did u find? Did the food make u sick / give u food poisoning / 'the runs'?
If food is in the trash, is it safe to eat it?
Do u abide by a '10 second rule'?
Should dumpster divers 'be arrested'?
Do u 'call bullshit' on this event/trend?
Should I shop at Target, Walmart, or just dumpster dive?
Do u h8 how grocery stores and restaurants are required to throw away food?
Should we just create some sort of 'system' where that food is given to homeless people, alts, and freegans?
Does Whole Foods need to burn/cremate all of their old food so that homeless people + freegans don't have access to it?
Does 'trash' belong 2 no1, or is it the owner's right as an American to know that their garbage wasn't re-used or recycled in any format?
Did the New york Times write 'another brilliant article', or are you tired of 'hipster trend pieces'?
Do u think they should use the word 'hipster' more freely in articles/blog post titles, instead of trying to work around it?
Should I go dumpster diving behind Chili's and pick up some Fajitas, bottomless chips and salsa, and SXSWestern Eggrolls?
Should I go dumpster diving behind _________ and pick up some ___________________?
