It really seems to me to be another example of upper to upper middle class white kids fetishizing the poor.

When JCC posted that thread I remember there being a video of some eighteenish white kids in designer jeans driving a minivan up to a grocerystore (with a digital camcorder w/ "night vision") and giddily laughing as thy grabbed a packet of muffins and some butter.

"freeganism" sticks in my craw, mainly because it just seems to be class tourism with a quasi environmental justification.

Plus, now that Oprah endorses it, it's officially mainstream class tourism.
