i agree with cjs1489...

and elaborating on that

Freeganism is also about avoiding the exploitation of the Earth, animals, humans, and all living things.

And if you really cared about the cause in general instead of just another interesting fad you wouldn't immediately consume a pack of Mars Candy M&M's. http://marscandykills.com/

You are the perfect epitome of an ordinary consuming American; I wish I could give you the credit of attempting to be satirical but I know this isn't.

Freegan isn't trying to buy local and attempting to reduce your carbon footprint, though these are valiant efforts they are in no way freegan.

Freegan involves waste minimization and to be entirely freegan you wouldn't just buy one pair of seasonal shoes you would find your pair of shoes in a dumpster; not only reduction of your trash but reduction of other persons trash also.

You should either commit to your freegan goal (for some of those goals you can check http://freegan.info/) or give up your silly escapade for Newsweek.
