I thought I could make it as a freegan, eating three or four meals a week at business and social event snack tables, but I discovered very quickly that the menus provided a fast track to excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates and fats and very little high quality protein and fresh vegetables, and I gave up the idea within two weeks.

freegan (NEW WORD ADDED for 2014)

an activist who scavenges for free food (as in waste receptacles at stores and restaurants) as a means of reducing consumption of resources

This is an awful word; I hope it drops out of the dictionary soon. I wouldn't mind if crowdsource and crowdfund stayed in, though. They're very descriptive of new phenomena.

I guess freegan is also, as a combination of free and vegan, but to me it sounds more like a combination of freeloader and vegan, probably not the image that freegans want to portray.
