Its summer and its the perfect weather for smoothies -Especially when you now have enough power to use a food mixer!
Anyone who checks my posts will know that I am very "Alternative" to the main stream, and that I love to expose on Steemit my lifestyle of choice which entails staying as free as I can away from The System whilst showing people how it is possible by documenting it and my thoughts on the world. I live since 9 years pritty much all for free, I don't pay rent for example and nor do I "own" any property. I recycle clothes and food from the mass waste created by society and find alternative living solutions. I can say that 90% of what I consume is recycled from dumpsters. I have never been ill from eating food from supermarket dumpsters as I have a good knowledge of how food is when its good and when its not because my first job to pay for my existence- was a cook.
The other evening, we went the second time to go visit some new containers we found behind a supermarket 30 mins away with the bus. We had to go back there because the first time we went there the containers were good and we got a lot of nice loot, and also whilst we were looking through the bins, the delivery shutter door of the supermarket opened and some workers came out which gave me a great opportunity to ask if we can recycle the food they were about to throw away. The workers were friendly on the first encounter and positive and went and got some boxes they were to chuck out which consisted of a lot of tortellini and some veggy's amongst other goodies, which meant we were welcome to go back.
We were in the mood to use the new food mixer opportunity and we went on a mission to see what was for free.. Most people would just go buy a smoothy I suppose from the supermarket, but that's not my style!
We went to the bus stop and had some minutes to wait with 3 patient dogs..
The not so patient one decided to go mad on the grass and try to corrupt the others into going over there to play..
The Bus Arrived, we had a good 30 min ride to the supermarket.
This dog is a legend, I found him (or he found me correctly speaking) under my van 7 years ago hugging the wheel and thought it was his mum! Real street dog, he was around 2 or 3 weeks old I guess at that time. He has hitchiked at least 30,000km with me, and been to more countries than most the people I even know which has left him with a very independent character!
I had to check it out it was staring me through the glass in the face..
I know that its just fucking horrendous that this stuff is sold in the shops, and if you don't already know, go and check up on it! I remember seeing the effect of this "Drink" that it had a kids in a village in hillbilly land somewhere, the children all lost their teeth and were drinking 2 liters a day of this stuff. I Had to see the sugar content - it has 56g FIFTY - SIX - GRAMS of sugars. That's like 2 OZ!Next time you think to buy this, for yourself, or maybe even for someone else that its containing QUADRUPLE the "OK" amount of Added Sugars for a child a day. JUST FROM THAT BOTTLE IN THE PICTURE. Labeling children as ADHD ? hmm- scratch the chin- ?!
Well, the trash was emptied the day before or that day :(
We got Yogurts as there was some thing in there and some bread thingy's, but that was it - very disappointing! I decided to go into the store and to tell them that we had been given food last time from someone and they said we could come back to get the things to be thrown out. They said they had some things and that I could go with a worker out the back to check it out. I tried to take some pics but the woman got the paras! Anyway, out the back, I noticed that they had kept a huge bucket of the salamis sticks that we had found the first time. they are very tasty! beer salamis, infact= I will go get one now as we still have some! There was a lot of fruit and a huge tray of cheeses and different milks, but they first would be scanned the next day and then we could come back, but I don't have a fridge so it wasn't worth to go back the next day. Smoothies was the intended mission, we needed to get milk from the supermarket after finding none in the trash and if there was nothing then we would get some organic bananas. There's no difference in price in organic or non organic bananas in most country's, which is great.
I saw there was time to also take a chance and run to the other supermarket to ask if they would give us the food they would throw out. I went to ask the first non Norwegian I could find, and found a half English worker! It looked promising as they went out the back to ask, and I was certain I would be soon waved to come over and go check out the disgusting amount perfectly good food waiting there to get compressed in a machined block.
Abra! Cadabra! errr..Open Sesami!
Nothing happened and the sliding shutter didn't open, and instead a guy came with a bag of dried bread, the ends of the bread that had been sliced in a machine. What the hell. Anyway, had to ask!
With 4 mins left until the bus, and a good 400m distance we could (maybe) just about get the bus, although we saw it arrive and had to run to get on it, which wasn't that fun!
Back at the Cabin..
We got Blueberrys, Rasberrys, Apples, Pears and lots of yogurts for free, and a citron melissa plant and a basil plant which are already repotted.
The 8 Yogurt's were lactose free - There's always many lactose free products thrown out, and never any Mountain Dew! (Not that I would ever drink it!) and the Raspberry's had not one part of mold on them!
The process and the end result!
Still had plenty left! Its all gone now though we have to eat things quick as we don't have a fridge this summer!
We all know that food waste is a problem but what we don't all know is how we can start to change it. There are people even in rich country's who just cant afford good foods, just like this food used here, the average joe like myself couldn't see the point in spending all the money on just this fruit, instead you would have to buy pasta and bread because the next money to come would also not be enough. Fruit wont keep you from feeling hungry as long. So we never really eat fruit. That's how its working to keep poor people sick. This right here is a way to tackle many problems directly anyone reading this who considers there selves an activist, then they to should be consuming food this way. Anyone who cant afford to buy this fruit above and who would have to spend that same money on other things to get by, should be doing this also.
A Special thanks to the waste of society, for this perfectly fine battery found a few days ago!
Well - as usual I wrote this post in an act of pure and loving anarchism, to show you how you can be less dependent on the system and I hope you enjoyed a very normal thing I do regularly as I have time to do what I want, that's the result of freedom that you cant take too!
Big Love and Abundance!
Great post @movingman! (I think I get your steem tag now...)
It's funny, I was going to bring up how much fresh produce is wasted while food banks hand out shit in our last convo about social programs...
Looks like you're better off hitting up a grocery store dumpster than the government that supposedly has your best interest in mind.
Inspiring!

Cheers, thanks for the support, it's more than I could ever ask of anyone!
Great gift!
I was introduced to steemit by @maxigan. I thought it a great platform to promote awareness of Truth and Freedom due the lack of censorship. I'll admit, it's not quite what I expected but I have met some great people on here!
