I would think the definition is much more broad than yours. At least the main definitions I found (which does include urban foraging by the way): <a href="http://freegan.info/?page_id=8" rel="nofollow">What is a Freegan</a>?

When an event is over, there will usually be leftover food. The food service staff members are supposed to take that food and throw it away, but if you can hit the sweet spot after the event is done with the food, but before the food service folks come to grab it, you can rack up on all kinds of good stuff. Fruits and veggies are nearly always leftover and safe to eat even if they have been out for awhile. You can get loads of tortilla chips, bread, and deserts too. Keep baggies in your backpack or desk drawer so you are ready when you hit the free food sweet spot. One more tip if you are on a college campus or event center.

There are way too many poisonous ones that look too much like safe versions. And when I speak of poisonous, I'm talking about the ones where if you don't get a liver transplant within days you will die. Please do not recommend mushroom picking!!
