Free Food and Drink

From GiftEconomy

Try telling hunter gatherers that there ain't no such thing as a free lunch! Though anathema to civilized man, hunting and gathering is the oldest and most natural way to procure food, and will surely outlive the short-sighted and destructive practice of industrial farming. For those with access to land, self-grown food is a popular alternative to purchasing food.
