You can eat weeds, and they turn back into plants or crops.
It's just some word trickery.
- Thrymr 2y agoBut not productively. In monoculture agriculture, all but a single planted crop is a weed by definition, and we have no way of making use of it at scale. Sure, you can eat dandelion greens from your yard, but that does not scale. There are a lot of benefits to quality, nutrition, environment, and community to growing food at smaller scale, but it is certainly more expensive.
- azeirah 2y agoYou don't need to grow anything. You can just eat the plants. Just be careful in how you decide what plants to eat. My cats eat plants that somehow seem to grow out of concrete. I have no idea how a plant can even grow out of concrete at all, but it totally works. It probably has some minerals in it. Is it very nutritious? Probably not. You can also just eat stinging nettle. Make soup out of it. Free meal. One of the most nutritious plants that is available in almost all western countries, and probably grows outside of western countries too. It's... I dunno why people don't trust nature or the wisdom in their bodies anymore. Another example. Eat an apple. You're fine. Dig seeds out of the apple, crush them and turn them into a paste. If you eat that paste, you will die. Yet we eat apples all day. We trust apples. If something looks, feels and smells edible? Probably fine. Maybe ask a few locals like some birds, cats and dogs because they know nature a little bit better than you do probably. If you eat in the same way that Werner Herzog makes films, you'll be invincible.
