Just and Example of the FREE and "Only Real True Organic GodFood" Naturally growing on and all around DTownFarm in Detroit (and really all over the place, in your front and back yards) that man has classified and misled as "weeds"!
Would
you eat a weed growing on the sidewalk? That’s what Mark Bittman did
recently while on a tour of Oakland with two U.C. Berkeley urban
foragers.
Phil
Stark and Tom Carlson want to boost awareness about the nutritional and
local value of edible weeds in underserved populations. Their work
includes testing the soil and developing a website that lets the public
find, identify and share where to forage these plants.
So
what do they find? They pluck greens right off the lawns of houses,
just feet away from empty paint cans and abandoned bicycle wheels.
“There’s
a lot of resistance to the idea of picking your food out of the ground.
There’s a stigmatism associated to it. And so people’s response is ‘Ick
a dog might have peed on it… And a dog might have peed on it, but I can
wash that off,” Stark said.
Bittman
also goes to Petaluma where Mark meets Bob Cannard, a trailblazing
farmer who teaches students who are aspiring farmers and gardeners how
to cultivate weeds to build good soil, and shares his bounty regularly
with restaurants like Chez Panisse in Berkeley.
