This might actually work in the Food threads, but the talk actually was called Things We Can Learn From Weeds, so...

Given my struggles with them over the years, a while back my sister gave me this book so I could more fully appreciate the nature of my opponent:

Amazon.com: The Teeth of the Lion: The Story of the Beloved and Despised Dandelion (978939923229): Anita Sanchez, Joan Jobson: Books

[11.4]

Never mind. I misread the title of the thread.

This is how humans thrived in the ancient world. There had been numerous times we could have been wiped out, but the different cultures(world wide) knew what to eat and when to move to find more seasonal bounty. This is all before money entered the system. My girlfriend who is a horticulturist makes me try all sorts of weird stuff when we are out hiking and most of it is surprisingly good. It blows my mind that food is all around us and we work so hard to get rid of it or ignore it.

That is funny! She always tries it before letting me taste. Though if she built a tolerance..... Hmm?
