from The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
How to Apply This
-
Develop new skills.
Learn to fish and hunt. You could get a license, fish in the lake, or hunt in the forest. -
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. -
