They are also very annoying, telling people what to eat, what not to eat. Being superior for their expensive lifestyle choices.
Meh. I'll eat as I damn well please. Given my lifestyle and history, I'm much less likely to die from what I eat than many other things.
Personally, I don't make pie crusts or tamales without lard. Given a chance (twice in my life), I'll use tallow (hard beef fat) for pie crusts. Amazingly good.

Just adding a water tip. We have a well so water has always been a challenge when the power goes. Generators, no thanks. people will be listening for them and they will just be a magnet. I have about 30 big kitty litter jugs in the garage full of hose water just for flushing the toilet. About 40 gallons of water softened water with a few drops of bleach stored for washing up and brushing teeth, cases of bottles water for drinking and a Britta and a bunch of filters. I would like to figure out a good setup for catching gutter water if I can keep it fairly clean.
There ya go.
Today I took an small envelope and started harvesting some seed heads.
They look just like dandelion seed heads.
Wild lettuce, aka prickly lettuce. Very prolific in my neck of the woods. Also extremely nutritious.
To most people, it’s just a weed...
