Fox, coyote, deer, and raccoon pee is much more nutritious.

As is bird poop... every piece of produce ever eaten was pooped on by
some birdie... and you don't even want to think about insect poop
*inside* your produce. And yoose nincompoops paying double and
tripple for organic, if there is no insect evidence, woim holes, and
critter nips it ain't organic... damn low IQ fools.

I mostly buy produce from the local farm stand. When I buy cabbage, for
example, I don't get grossed out because I find a worm or grub in one of
the cabbage leaves. These farmers don't even claim to be "organic"
farmers. I don't know anyone who doesn't wash produce before using it.

This idea of paying someone to show people how to forage in public parks
and urban lots is yet another trendy fad. Some people have more money
than sense.

As I mentioned in another post, it's actually a resurrected fad,
mostly likely brought back as a result of the locavore movement. Even
if you don't eat it (and much of it is edible only when it is very
young, or after it has gone through repeated cooking/treatment to
render it edible), just being able to identify plants in your area is
a worthwhile thing to learn. Coming up next: people sickened by
picking and eating nasty or poisonous plants, or plants that haven't
been properly prepared to render them edible.

I'd rather deer poop than rabid rat shit and plague carrying
cockaroaches.

No rabies here, we all have our shots... this morning little Candi was
spayed and got her rabies vaccine... she's in the recuperation room
