Capitalism does this to everything, look at che guevara and the 'revolutionary spirit' of the 90's, it warps it and distorts it so that it's not only harmless, but profitable. It offers an easy method for the people who just want to look cool to join whatever 'movement' its destroying. All you are capitalising on is pathetic 'anarchist' middle-class kids.

(Although I have to tell you I'm very frugal so there might not be much point digging in my personal trash.) It's just so interesting to me that everything eventually becomes an 'industry' - even Freeganism. If they can I think that’s great.

I know that in some states dumpster diving comes with a pretty hefty fine (like $500), if you get caught. I just couldn't bring myself to delve into this lifestyle, garbage is not for me.lol But here is my business idea: Create a city map with all of the best and unlocked(accessible) dumpsters in the city. You could include store closing hours and drive time, then sell that to the freegans for a couple bucks each. Kind of like a Hollywood map of the stars for dumpster divers. Or what about a freegan recipe website, show them how to make the best moldy cheese and stale bread sandwiches this side of the Mississippi. :) Thanks!
