Yup. We've taken all that wonderful wildness and turned it into farms, suburbs, and human beings.
I think it was a bad deal.
One thing that Behrs doesn't note is that the very abundance of wild food on American tables is what contributed to its disappearance in the wild. Market hunting in the late 19th wiped out a number of species and populations and gravely threatened the rest, and we've been trying to rebuild ever since.
It's the kind of article that makes me wish I'd been born a couple of centuries earlier...

Drawn for me by the kind and generous menagerie73. Not very girly, but it will do!
You would have done quite well a few centuries back, but we are glad to have you here, esp. ATSHTF.

Thank you!
I have learned to eat strawberries like a prodigal, since they do not last as long as rubies, even if refrigerated with loving care...
Yes, we had a good time made sharper by the knowledge that some of our older relatives had narrow escapes this year. It was very good to be together.
