I guess I consider it more a way of being, rather than a hobby. It would be like saying eating pizza or pancakes is a hobby. I eat weeds more often than I eat pizza, pancakes, or at a restaurant, lol.

I fully agree, but I'm trying to encourage people who do not live that way.
Rather than saying "Live your life this way" I'm encouraging them to try it, as a way of getting their feet wet and get exposed to the option of living that way...
I agree, for sure, that saying "Live your life this way" is a pushy way to go and not very effective. I hope I haven't ever come across that way. I think I try to show by example that weeds can be real food for regular people, not just trivia or a hobby. Fear about the need to survive is another motivator, too, though. It may be more effective for some folks. The more information and examples, from a lot of different people - that's got to be the best. Keep eating the outdoors! :D
