great inquiry tania, in my opinion, you should keep giving your non-LFRV finds to the pantry. you won't be changing anyone's eating habits by not donating, and in the meantime you can rest assured that you aren't creating any extra demand (since it comes from the waste anyways!).

i'd love to hear some rhetoric from the other side of the issue though.

I didn't get picts of last night's dive, but I thought it deserved a mention. = )

Seems 8 was a good number:

*8 champagne mangos

*8 pints of strawberries

*8 organic bananas

*8 minutes of dive time (well, I don't know if that's true..sounded cool though!)

We also got a 1/2 pint of blueberries which our little girl decided wasn't share-worthy.

And I rescued 2 large chocolate birthday cakes and about 9 large coffee cakes which I dropped off at the pantry today. Sometimes I wonder at my activism of donating food I not only would never eat but I don't think anyone should. Any thoughts?

Hey Alison, I didn't think to ask--what food did you find from your dives while out with the Occupy folks?

Very cool Alison! I hope you get a food rescue co-op rockin' and rollin' out there!

Dylan--very nice video. Thanks for the inspiration. Also, nice dinner!

Any other nice finds recently?

Hey, I'd like to send a big welcome out to all of you newcomers who have recently joined the Divers group! I'm so thrilled that more and more people are recognizing the human need to rescue food from an otherwise terrible fate.

Since there are so many of us from different parts of the globe, this is really great news. That means we can keep the movement growing and spreading out, and increase awareness and education about food waste.

Also, for any folks recently coming here, I'd love to hear your personal story and what's up in your diving wold. = )

May All Be Fed!

Hi HHD!

I DO DO DO DO want to meet more divers! I have been asking around all over the place and there are very few people who are interested from what I see.

Thanks for the props! I am working on finding a shelter/ pantry that will take some of this fruit. Of course, I guess I'd have to clear it with the manager at Stanley's. I think I need to prepare some legal paperwork for him to look over, so he knows that he won't get sued.

Any tips?

Holy cow folks, our Mary Elizabeth is smokin' right now! Talk about fast foot work! Congrats on securing an abundance of fresh live foods!

With what you've tapped into, I definitely hope you'll be able to organize a pick up/drop off service with a truck right there in your community!

Sharing your steps the whole way along has been inspirational and powerful.

It is truly a beautiful BLESSING to be in the "business" of food sharing and donating.

I have a few personal creeds that I live by

1. Be kind to animals

2. Living beings before profits

3. Food is for sharing

We need to feed our brothers and sisters on this planet. There is no such thing as a food crisis on this planet--only a food distribution/politics/education crisis.

Mary Elizabeth, I'm so glad to hear of your success in procuring such a bounty for yourself and others, and in motivating store employees as well!

Let me know if you still want to meet some other divers.

Next demand: pictures/videos of dived items?
