A person who scrounges rubbish for food. While it sounds repulsive, some high quality food items can be found in the trashbin.
The freegan made a tasty meal out of the trash of a wasteful man who threw out all of his gourmet ingredient, and didn't have to spend a cent.

When you are too cheap to buy meat at the grocery store, so you only eat it at other people's houses or barbeques.
Carly: Do you want a veggie burger, Mike?
Mike: Oh sweet, you have meat--give me a cheeseburger.
Carly: Oh, okay. I thought you were a vegan.
Mike: No, I'm a freegan.

People who aren't vegan but want a word for their diet to pretend that it means something. They're often seen eating meat and cheese. Usually associated with anarchist activists, traveler kids, alcoholic punks, and other embarrassing subcultures.
Jim used to be vegan but now he's a freegan sellout who doesn't care about the animals. It's too bad he will perish when the vegan revolution sweeps the animal abusing scum off the streets.

A class of people who strive to be vegan, but will frequently eat meat and use animal products.
Freegans like to think that they are ohhh so close to attaining that pure vegan status, but they can never quite make it, because they love meat and are not willing to give up their normal life style.
Freegans are considered phonies by both vegan and non-vegan alike, though non-vegans will often show an attitude of understanding, whereas vegans will look upon them with scorn.

Isabel: I'll have spaghetti with meatballs please.

Owen: It seems to me you are a freegan.

A person who is Freegan Leaning identifies as someone who likes free food. A Freegan Leaning person is a true pragmatist and has achieved a level of spiritual attainment. A Freegan Leaning person believes that the best thing is food given freely by the earth, but free food from a friend is the next best thing. Freegan Leaning people also don’t mind working for a meal, because if you don’t work you won’t eat, and if nobody works nobody eats. Freegan Leaning people keep in the fronts of their minds because of long experience, that free food tastes the best :) .
My younger cousin’s excitable, boisterous, Labrador Retriever was a highly accomplished Freegan Leaning dog. The dog took to food of any kind with gusto. Free food dropped during the Fourth of July was clearly his favorite. However he was more than willing to work for a meal and sit, roll over, or bark for a well earned treat. Accomplished Freegan Leaning dogs like Vinny have clearly earned new lives in a paradise realm.
Many people are unaware of their Freegan Leaning tendencies. Most people don’t bother to think about how good free food tastes, if they did, they might achieve the first level of Freegan Leaning awareness.

The young female freegan spotted the half eaten onion in a balled up newspaper and started to eat it very quickly. She was completely freegan out.
