Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

    I spent years eating dumpstered food when I lived in the US. You’re proving my point.

    Have you ever even volunteered with Food Not Bombs?

      Did you feed your kids out of dumpsters? And if so, were any of them autistic kids who would only be willing to eat things they approve of and starve otherwise? I hope not.

      But I’m guessing your suggestion is either force-feed them or let them starve.

      Also, do you know one of the reasons they take your kids away from you and put them in abusive foster care? Because you’re homeless.

      Basically your whole idea is advocating child abuse.

      Amazing how many people here think you should put the welfare of others over your own children.

        Its clear you’ve never dumpster dived before. Its usually wrapped in food grade containers. Completely sanitary. And good stuff, like super fancy expensive pastries.

        And food not bombs works with restaurants and groceries to get the food before they even put it in a dumpster, just before its thrown out.

        Seriously, please find your local chapter of Food Not Bombs and volunteer. You would learn a lot. Feeding people is not an issue in the US.

          My entire post was about child abuse and you just ignored it.

          So I guess we know how you feel about children suffering.
