These guys are pretty intense. Having lived in the city, I know that Central and Inwood Hill Parks are glorious sources for wild edibles, and foraging is pretty easily done (Steve Brill even leads wild edible tours in the parks). I regularly came home with burdock, sassafrass, garlic mustard (considered an "invasive" by the parks dept., but it's delicious!), mayapple, even Kentucky Coffee Beans! Hunting in the parks I never tried, though. Several years ago Green Phoenix Permaculture was working with a parks dept. employee (and GPP member) to create a food forest garden in one of the parks, but the powers-that-be put the kibosh on it at the last minute. A lot of hard work down the drain, sadly.

After reading the article, I feel ashamed that I only do Pilates and low impact aerobics during the winter months. Of course, I'm not going to go for a bare chested and barefoot run in the middle of winter, so I'll have to accept where I am and what I'm doing in that regard.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't feel bad. I'm not about to start chowing on raw beef anytime soon. Getting me to eat COOKED beef is enough of a challenge! And it depends on what your goals are, too. But I will say that you going for a bare chested, barefooted run in Central Park would turn many heads and probably get you arrested.
