Looking at things like that link you attached, I assume the people writing about these places have never been or lived there. How is this number even tracked? You could go on down to Pike County and ask the folks there if they live in a "low-income and low-access area" and they'd probably tell you they eat deer. Even in low-income and high-crime areas around Birmingham I don't think anyone would say it's difficult to get food.
- phailhaus 3y agoI don't know man, I trust the people who spend their careers studying these things over your hypothetical anecdotes. Do you have actual numbers, or are you just guessing?
- _chu1 3y agoLet's say I think NY sucks but I've never been there, I have exact numbers and papers that add to this viewpoint, but still never been there. Do you trust my opinion?
- phailhaus 3y agoOh, so you actually know the people that work at the AECF and whether they've actually visited these places? Your entire point is "eh, feels wrong". Ok dude.
