As to taste you can be a city bushman and collect from the trees overhanging fences or edible weeds such as chickweed for salads. In fact my ultra urban lifestyle is much healthier and sustainable than the one I had as a founding director of the Permaculture Institute in the late '70's. Fond regards, Cymon Fjell Hello,

We got suckered into letting the corporations feed us and ended up eating waste products and factory farmed produce to maximize their profits and keep food affordable for the masses. I grew up with hobby-hippy parents on 5 acres but since left I that garden of eden 15 years ago I've been a city living turd consumer. I've finally got my priorities straight and a great job in the country and I'm off in a few days. The fresh food there is awesome, the land is affordable and the traffic is non existent. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Right on!
