I loved reading this! It reminded me of a conversation about foraging that I heard on the Poor Proles Almanac podcast, where they discussed the strategic designation of large swaths of land into US national parks to discourage foraging, to put up a sense of a barrier between human and nature, and to ultimately push people into a system of industrialized, and most importantly, privatized, food
Love this so much!

Oooh Im going to look that episode up. Thanks for reading Clare❤️
These lines got me:
“The Sonoran landscape was unknown to me and felt threatening, as anything unknown is threatening to an immature person.”
“It’s not shameful to not know something, but it becomes a shame if there’s no effort put toward learning.”
Beautifully written.
always writing inspired by our conversations!
