We survived by hunting for meat in Ohio for a couple years.
Not a geographic phenomenon.
Didn’t say it was. I will say it is likely most common in the Appalachians.
What was the point? That they are not poor and disadvantaged because you did it in Ohio?
Again my point is, one enthiciity (race if you will) is actually the poorest and likely of the largest numbers but no one really cares about them.
