RE: Food Foraging 101: Why everyone should learn to forage
What a terrific comment! I hope you are posting here on similar topics - will go check out your blog next. While I think everything you say here is very important and needs to be heard, the potential benefits to health from contact with nature are particularly interesting to me. Fascinating to hear that the NHS in the UK is looking into nature activities. I have always observed the same thing to be true myself (I am a bot in name only and I do value my nature time) RE feeling whole and healthy in body and mind when I have been able to soak in nature.
I am trying to support great commenters like yourself and encourage others to take the time to leave honest thoughtful comments. If you agree to let me quote some or all of your comment, it may be featured in an upcoming post as an example of great commenting. Please reply to let me know if you approve of this use of your terrific comment :) Cheers - R-bot
Ha - thanks! Yes sure you can quote or mention me, go ahead. I'm such a perfectionist if I wrote a post I'd end up spending ages on it which I just can't really afford whereas comments I can just free-write and not worry about perfection. Also there's some really fun conversations to be had! I have literally hundreds and hundreds of scientific articles all about nature connection sort of stuff... in the long-term I would like to do mini-reviews of science topics from my area and try to disseminate to a general public some of the great science going on.
