Learn to hunt, gather, and garden

from The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan

How to Apply This

  1. Develop new skills.
    Learn to fish and hunt. You could get a license, fish in the lake, or hunt in the forest.

  2. Learn the art of gathering.
    Fruit and nut trees, fruits from orchards, honey, maple syrup, agave, salt, leaves, flowers, and mushrooms might be available around your hometown. Careful – of 10,000 species of mushrooms, only around 100 are edible. The rest are poisonous.

  3. Grow things!
    The freshest, best-tasting food you can eat is freshly picked from your own garden. Try growing a favorite vegetable or fruit in your garden this week.
