Do people (in general) really only eat 100 different plants? I feel like that number must be too low. Surely if you listed out all the plant foods that people consider "normal", there would easily be more than 100.
Might be considering all Brassica as one.
It isn't all industrial agriculture. There is also the enclosure of the commons meaning that foraging is illegal in a lot of places.
A lot of Lebanese shops sell sorrel. Sorrel is just clovers. 50% of people setting this meme are 100 meters or less from sorrel right now.
The staple foods we've chosen to cultivate are all energy dense. Overheard a client talking to another guy he hadn't seen in years, "Yeah, got diabetes. Can't eat any white foods. :("
That really got me thinking. Rice, potatoes, wheat and corn. The core desirability is energy.
Add something like beans to fix nitrogen and add missing nutrients, you're all set.

Here I go thinking about the three sisters again.
I had native persimmons for the first time today! In Virginia.
Can anyone recommend anything to watch out for in BCs lower mainland? (Climate similar to Seattle)
If the word "prefer" is in this meme, we might need another pass for tone.
i tried to use corn syrup as a vegan honey substitute for a glaze of spiced nuts for roasted carrots and let me tell you that corn taste is a bit off and I really should have just like idk made a simple syrup with sugar or something. Maybe just toss the nuts with brown sugar and spices and bake it, idk.
i wish vegans would just eat honey it's just bees I didn't vote to consider bugs animals (but even though I disagree i'm not gonna feed people honey like the cooks I work with who sometimes "forget" it isn't vegan)
Maple syrup could have worked. But yeah, it's often also worth changing up plans, like maybe just roast the nuts as well and put them on top with some chives or balsamico creme for the looks. Of course, I don't know what kind of constraints you're working with, though...
If you can't kill it or fuck it then eat it. It's that easy.
Why can't I have 1 thing where all 3 are possible?
You can if you're a spider
SEX! AND VIOLENCE!
Getting an allotment, so soon I will be able to grow things I don't normally eat because they are expensive or aren't sold in shops here.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
