Yeah, well, I think about that dead asshole who wrote "Stalking the
Wild Asparagus" and laugh. Or dead-ass Adele Davis. LOL! But, what the
hell: They sold a lot of books to the gullible and I guess that's what
really matters in this America.
Hey! What-the-hell's wrong with you? If you're going to offer a
citation requiring "registration", at least provide us with a username
and password. I can't imagine that the NYT, in this lifetime, would
possibly publish anything of sufficient import to justify actually
"registering" at its website.


Gibbons was a good man. Taught me about purslane ( Highest source of
Omega 3 , Fiddle head ferns, lambs quarters and inspired looking into
wild native plants. Not too bad a legacy. Adele I do know.
NYT is not too shabby I guess that is what is wrong with me. That is
your main problem lack of imagination pragmatic and monovision. Sad.

Look at my sig sometime.

Well and another asshole steps up to the microphone. Go bury your
unimportant ass in the sand and say 'na na na na na' with your fingers in
your ears and you'll feel much better in your bliss ie ignorance. Wait,
isn't that Faux News calling to you in the background?

What an ass-hat!

I read St. Euell when I was 12 and Bradford Angier about the same time
IIRC.

I was lucky to have my Gramdma, farm girl, one-room schoolteacher and
later farm wife to identify things for me or I'd almost certainly have
poisoned myself several times over

There's nothing wrong with the books. They were part of a milieu with no
clieu(sic). Things change. Times change. People learn a bit more.

Most good ideas if they're overused become bad ideas precisely because
things change.

Tried all the links. Saw no sign of the need to register.

On a less serious note, am I the only one who saw "Four Fish Book" and
immediately thought, "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish"?

Funny, I was thinking that in your case they were casting pearls before
the swine. Euell Gibbons made the point that food didn't have to come
wrapped in cellophane to be food, and Adele Davis reminded people that
processed food is impoverished food. (Just check-out the USDA Nutrient
Database to see the difference between white wheat flour and whole grain
wheat flour.)

You could have offered criticism of their views, e.g. Gibbons adding
white sugar to his foraged foods, but no, you used vacuous invectives,
and added nothing but rudeness to the conversation.

And if you had even an iota of wit about you would have found reviews
for "Four Fish" at Amazon by the author, and by several readers, which
apparently you are not.

Rising populations, unsustainable food, environmental degradation, and
Global Warming, all based on fossil fuels are of no concern to you
because . . . .
there is no one else that you care about?

Some of us have family that we will leave behind, who will have to deal
with the problems that you'd rather not think about.
