Fast food consumers must be more responsible when it comes to eating healthy. Simple things like looking at the calorie count on the Big Mac

Lying to Police Officers is a misdemeanor in most states. A misdemeanor is a crime that is bad but not life threatening most of the time. People lie daily to make themselves look more “cool” or to sound “badass”, but it doesn’t matter what you lie about because nothing is going to make it okay. Then lying to an Officer of the law might have repercussions that can cause much worse damage and harm than telling the truth to begin with. The ripples of this dishonesty can cause harm to: you, other people, and property that may be involved.
He isconvinced that a lot of perfectly good food is discarded. Canned goods turnup fairly often in dumpsters and are among the safest foods.

There are several different stages to being a scavenger. The first is the New Scavenger, who is filled with disgust and self loathing and very ashamed to be seen Diving into Dumpsters. In which case they may try to lurk around, duck behind things or may even try to Dive at night, even though most people look away from scavengers and lurking only calls attention to themselves. The second stage comes with experience and the scavenger stops hating themselves.

My deviant behavior brought upon many dirty looks, some surprised looks, as well as aggression.
Through the passing on the story, I became aware that Eighner went dumpster diving, however, my views on him being intelligent or successful did not change. Although Eignher goes around dumpster diving he uses his knowledge to know what is good for him. Eighner knows what items are worthy enough to eat or keep as his dumpster diving varies from food to various objects and items. I actually think his views on dumpster diving is very smart. As Eighner spends his days dumpster diving, he uses his knowledge to improve things he may find.
However, some canned foods can cause fatal diseases like botulism. Dried foods such as crackers, cookies, cereal, chips and pasta are usually safe to eat, once they are free from visible contaminates. Eighner shows how dumpster diving is a full time job that requires a lot of effort but following the stages of the process can help someone to become efficient. One stage is knowing a good place and time to look for food and other items that could be useful. For example the author says, students throw out canned goods and staples at the end of semesters and when they give up college at midterm.
Consumer’s are responsible for their selection in foods and if they chose to consue products that give no nutritional information that is on them. Zinczenko argues that lack of information given to the consumers about the food they are consuming is grounds to file lawsuits against the fast food vendors. Though there is truth to Mr. Zinczenko’s arguments, I disagree, with placing the blame on the fast food supplier’s. Consumer are responsible for .
