Top Comments of this video!! :3
Foraging was hard to do in our locale. But you inspired me to plant so many edible plants around my house and neighboring vacant lots. I sometimes sprinkle seeds to areas exposed to sunlight. I plant sweet potato vines and water spinach(kangkong) everywhere. Now I can easily find food around me.

My dad worked at a chemical factory, and he made a lot of money and retired early and has a very good pension. So I never really thought too much about chemicals and food and everything else until two guys died after a field was accidentally sprayed when they were in it. 😢 To make a long story short. (Kind of🤷🏼♀️) My daughters fiancé worked for pioneer seed in Illinois and two migrant workers were in the field and there was some kind of communication issue, and the airplane came over and sprayed the fields. I don’t know if it was pesticides or whatever it was, but those two migrant workers died in a Hospital later that day. And I thought to myself, we are spraying our food with these chemicals that kill people. Why are we eating this? 😑😞😭 ever since then I have been looking for a better way of life. I live in Okeechobee Florida and I just purchased an acre of ground outside of town that has a trailer and a nice garage on it and I am trying to start a food Forrest. I saw, your video on the starter kit and I am definitely going to get me one of those. I already have mango, papaya, coconut, and a couple other trees going, but I definitely want more!! 😊 if you ever need a place to live you are more than welcome to stay at my house for free! I don’t even stay there most of the time I live with my dad about 10 miles away because my mom just died in April and he needs the help. So anyways my place is empty and free if you ever need a place to stay.

I believe he covered this a little in the video but: any progress away from big ag is still progress!
I know in my journey to try and move away from big ag, it can be intimidating seeing how big the problem is, and how complicated and drastic the solutions can seem. And I believe it is important to remember that there is value in even doing just 2% of the ideal.
A small garden, knowing just a few edible plants, even supporting local farmer's markets are all steps away from corporate horrors and they all still count!

Haven't watched your videos in a bit but after seeing this one I am once again hit with the realisation if how we're all kind of trapped in this broken system, and that it is high time for me to pick up where I left off breaking free from it. You are so inspiring and I truly hope to attend one of your food walks or talks someday.

the stuff about the food system makes me think of a really ignorant letter to the editor in the washington post that was saying wild food should be for wild animals and trying to say foraging is bad for the environment... like grocery store food isn't?? i'm sure that she'd never heard of ethical foraging or thought about how many invasives are edible
