"My only thought that comes to mind is, if everyone in the went freegan then this lifestyle would'nt work. Based on the fact the one needs to trow out food in order for freegans to get theirs."

If freegans simply pursue a hobby where they try to get by on waste products and not spend any money because it is in their self-interest to be as cheap as possible, I'll support them. Everyone acts in what they believe to be their self-interest, whether they acknowledge it or not, and that's a good thing, because unless you're still living with mommy and daddy no one else is going to look out for you. To consistently act in one's self-interest and pretend to selflessness, however, seems a bit hypocritical. That crosses the line from self-interest to selfishness, where an individual cares not what effect their actions have on others.
