When you can go out into the world and find<BR/>your own food without using the money of the system...<BR/>when you can feed yourself from the earth without their<BR/>supermarkets and farming and packages...<BR/>Thats REAL freedom.<BR/><BR/>Forget about the Yankee Doodle Dandy crap we've been fed<BR/>for all of our lives. As long as we depend on the system for food,<BR/>they have us totally trapped. We must become smarter animals."<BR/>was the most intelligent and well spoken thing I have heard in a long time. I can't believe you're so cool! And I find it rather amusing how much I detested that target commercial now. I thought it was so modern consumer cheesy, etc. And you as a person are the opposite.

My husband and I love to collect edible wild plants. Our rule of thumb is to only collect what we have learned to positively identify from an herbalist. It is definitely beneficial to learn the families and species that have poisinous look alikes. There aren't that many to remember. We use books to educate ourselves and cultivate realtionships with plants, but we wait to eat until we can ask an herbalist. Finding a knowledgeable herbalist is easier than you would think. Most are so happy to share their knowledge by going on plant walks with you. In your area you could check out www.WildmanSteveBrill.com<BR/>He does walks in central park. Go for it! You'll have so much fun. And don't forget to bring the video camera!! :{)<BR/>(That's a new smiley icon for you with a moustache)HeeHee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-28295024919002586282008-04-05T12:39:00.000-05:002008-04-05T12:39:00.000-05:00Anthony -As a sometimes struggling raw foodist, I ...Anthony -<BR/><BR/>As a sometimes struggling raw foodist, I have nothing but respect for you and what you are doing with your life. I think your blog is great, and I really learn a lot from you and the things you share.<BR/><BR/>Lately I have read a lot about how you forage for wild plants and every time I feel pushed to write you about a woman I once met here in Chicago - Sedef Olcer. She was an amazing yogini and raw foodist and, perhaps most importantly, brilliant and...anything but careless.<BR/><BR/>Please see the link Ive attached about her tragic death due to drinking a smoothie made from an easily misidentified plant (Foxglove) that she picked in the forest. When I heard of her passing, I immediately decided I would never eat wild plants - if Sedef, someone so educated and careful, could be mislead, then my chances for making such a mistake are just too high.<BR/><BR/>I am not trying to be negative at all. Just please read the article and consider what it might mean for you by way of warning.<BR/><BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Rachel<BR/><BR/>http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/columnists/chi-schmich_bd10feb10,0,5002925.columnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-72171344783340249602008-04-05T07:14:00.000-05:002008-04-05T07:14:00.000-05:00Hi Anthony, Great pics and i keep thinking about t...Hi Anthony, <BR/>Great pics and i keep thinking about the story you told me when you went to central park at 10pm to climb a tree and forage for some wild apples i think!

I am also in the process of seeing my vision of sustainable living/building come to fruition. I have already started a garden, with room to grow & have been foraging & will be learning more about identifying from a local woman who gives classes on id'ing wild edibles. I am doing the juice feast right now, but gathered some dandelion & curly dock for my juice today. Thanks again for sending out such a wonderful & radiant light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
