RE: The Xtrodinary Papa-Pepper experience Part 1 - Eating Bugs

Thanks for the compliment, though to be fair I learned this from Jared Diamond in his book Collapse. In the book he analyses pacific islands and takes lessons from there successes and failures and uses them to look at the problems facing island earth. The lesson that applies here is that when starvation times came( and history shows this happens regularly) if the grandparents had gone through these times before then they would remember foods that while not usually desirable would still sustain life . This makes teaching my kids foraging not only fun but also something that might keep them alive someday.
