My primarily interest is in avoiding long-term work for pay, being self-employed and homeless sounds worse to me than just getting a job. Do you have any experience eating from dumpsters, or have any links do people documenting their experience? I know it's a possibility, but once again I'd probably rather work than be in poor health in my youth due to undernourishment, or poisoning. I'd likely even rather work than eat disgusting things regularly.
Food banks are no big deal to use, nor is EBT or other aid.
EBT and other government aid in the US has a work requirement though doesn't it? Do food banks have enough food for everyone, this last question is simply for my own personal moral grappling. I may get over this if it seems necessary.
