Funny, I just told this story on a forum elsewhere and this totally reminds me of it:
As an activitst youth in the 1990s, I was in our what was, in retrospect, very silly Bloomington Peace and Justice Center and someone I knew was eating granola out of a bag and offered me some. I tried it and it tasted like soap, so I spat it out.
I told him that and he said, “I found it in a dumpster, so I washed it before I ate it.”
Bear in mind that this wasn’t a guy that had any reason to be eating out of dumpsters. He was either a college student or a college dropout, probably the latter. This was a “I’m not participating in society, man!” sort of thing.
