That would really throw a wrench into the works. Imagine bypassing the FDA, the entire poisenous US food chain, the need for Pharma to fix those problems and the end of mega cities that wouldn't be able to survive.
Just wait till everyone finds out how medicinal "weeds" are. Seriously, look up dandelions - edible flowers, sap from the stem helps heal skin wounds, tea from the leaves does all kinds of detox, and the roots make healthy 'coffee.' Next, check out purslane. And bring back gooseberries and chestnuts. Sic the goats on kudzu and clear some land...
Bugs are also healthy. But you won't catch me trying to tell my children to eat bugs and weeds before I have to.
Although if I do start a garden, I'll let it grow weeds. Lol.
Good one, teacher - I had forgotten. We're trying all sorts of spots to see what catches, and special boxes for the ones that need help, but our dirt needs a LOT of rehabilitation too.
Wait... wut
Don't tell me there are recipes for kudzu. For people.
Don't get me wrong, my kids are taught that McD=frankenfood poison, and they happily eat all kinds of veggies, but - kudzu?!?
You raise an interesting point what will they eat when they aren’t able to do fast food and convenience meals? Will there be someone who can forage for them? Where will they get the information? I have spent years learning what can be eaten in the wild and what can be medicine.
From reading this, it appears to address non-organic strawberries and asparagus and not all crops. From the article -. "... For our study we chose the seasonal crops asparagus and strawberries, as their cultivation usually require the use of plastic mulch film and thus, fruits are expected to be prone for microplastic contamination. ..." Did I miss something? Are you saying this is more widespread?
I've heard some pretty awful things, yeah. Microplastics in every mammals milk. In the water table. Makes it's way into soil and crops. That's a slow bomb. Destroyer of chromosomes.

That's something I could live with... Cheers fren...

The hens will gladly eat the bugs.

Kudzu is delish. So are cattails. Could feed legions but folks are stuck on McD yuck

I prefer my veggies raw but here is some "food 4 thought."https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/kudzu-root#uses

I believe they will become animals and travel, hunt and destroy in packs.
Unfortunately they will have plastic in them for the next 1000 years.
