Cooked a box of frozen green beans, bacon, and added some veggies, all carried from Slippery Rock, PA I brought a stock of food because I was unsure about finding food while in Ohio. This was a large breakfast to start the day and every piece was pulled from the waste stream.

Today before meeting with a friend, I made a round of some of the dumpsters I was aware of. You can see the featured photo. I’m afraid to list every thing I grabbed. For the most part I felt greedy when I was filling up my pockets. I’m not going to say much about the inequalities of food distribution of the word today, exept its enough to make you go crazy, enough to make you mad.

Potatoes, apples, lemons, watermelon, morning dew melon, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, orange juice, snap peas, veggies, packaged salads, prepared packaged salads, bread, biscuits, onions, basil, sage, arugula, guacamole.

Later, I met up with Claudio to share the food and to explore some other waste-steam areas in Findlay. She is pictured in the bottom photo with a waste stream bouquet of flowers. We definitely stumbled on the sweetest smelling dumpster in the area.

We shared some berries, biscuits, guacamole, cucumber, and chips that evening. The chips were in a grey area. One of her roommates is moving towards a vegan lifestyle. The chips were his and he found that they had butter in the ingredients. Because of the butter, a dairy product, the roommate gave the chips to Claude. I considered them waste, they went great with the guac.
