2 请教一个分词问题

看一篇介绍肯德基快餐商标标志人物原形的文章说:

It was a slow,expensive and humiliating way to pursue business partners, especially considering he spent that time living out of his car and eating meals begged from friends.

想请教这句话,最后使用过去分词back的修饰前面名词meal,但beg在这里没有被动语义,是否应该使用现在分词begging代替?

这里有被动含义,相当于eating meals which were begged from friends. 这里不能替换为begging.

请看the free dictionary的解释:

v. begged, beg•ging. v.t.

1. to ask for as a gift, as charity, or as a favor: 

to beg alms; to beg forgiveness.

再附上一个外刊例句:I had a meager meal, begged, bought, or stolen from people whose language I could not speak.
