[Noisebridge-discuss] Stolen food at Noisebridge yes or no?

[Alex Handy]

I just want to make sure that this discussion is about food that was
actually stolen and not acquired via dumpster diving. If this is all about
food pulled out of dumpsters, I have no problem with it, as long as the end
products are labeled as "dumpstered." There are quite a few spots in the bay
area where one can acquire perfectly good food out of dumpsters, like the
Cliff Bar and Rainforrest chocolate factories in Berkeley.

Alternately, just taking food from a store without paying is obviously
uncool, and I don't think it's terribly important for us to all restate this
fact over and over.
