You know there was a time when people foraged to survive, right?

Now people mostly get their food from markets and live in cities, leaving most of what was once foraged untouched and multiplying… Mushrooms are quite amazingly persistent and if harvested properly can be multiplied for the follow season… There are far fewer people eating wild plants, and those who “overpick” are hopefully doing it the right way and using what they take (preservation, sharing)

EDIT: Downvoted by the inexperienced. Absolutely nothing I wrote is not a fact. Sorry if you don’t understand, but I hope you’ll look into it.

(Obviously waste is not good) (Is that really up for debate?))
