I would be afraid of neighborhood dogs seasoning all the weeds in any urban environment.
And then plants are extra fertilized from the mounds of feces in liberal cities.
Eat whatever you want. Go with God. Just don’t mandate that I have to eat it...
I’ll have the bok choi.
Not really different than survival camping in the Boy Scouts.
I hire amigos to take care of my weed problems.
Years ago there were books out on the good tasting plants of the Rocky Mountains.
I’ve never been an expert, but I knew of, and sometimes ate, quite a few edible wild plants when I lived in Oregon. Here in Arizona the pickings are less abundant.
The thing about wild plants, though, is that they’re pretty much always less tasty and more work to prepare than their cultivated equivalents. Fine when you want to, not so good if you have to.
They act like this is some new and exciting discovery. I and plenty of others have been foraging and using common weeds for many years. It used to be common practice back in the old days.
I’m told kudzu is tasty and makes a nice salad
Won’t be verifying that
I’m just really not into edibles
I’m sure that Selco can tell us all about the joys of grass soup.
These weed people are simply preparing us for the famines to come.
I am sure that some of that stuff is edible, but you would have to be careful about what you eat and where it came from. When I was a kid, one of my friends liked to sample weeds from the yard. There was one with a yellow blossom that tasted like pickles. My friend wound up with hepatitis.
They are not only edible, and some are tasty, they have potent medicinal properties.
Purslane. Lots of minerals, antioxidants and omega-3, and it’s probably growing in yoursidewalk.
Cattails - can eat the hearts, cooked called Cossack Asparagus, the green seed head can be boiled and eaten like corn, the pollen added to floor for pancakes
The roots can be peeled and the starch extracted from them
Is Biden Admin pushing people to eat insects and garden weeds? Any nutrition in a garden weed?
“In fact, she has an entire list of edible weeds.”
if kudzu is on her list, she’ll never go hungry ...
More like the “weed smokers.”
I don’t know about going around looking for it but amaranth is good, the wild and the planted.
There are some really pretty ones, Love-Lies-Bleeding, the summer poinsettias are real pretty and the taller giant burgundy.
They sell amaranth flour at the grocery.
Heck, even pokeweed is good.
