RE: Foraging For Medicine and Food on the Homestead

in Homesteadinglast year

Out parents do encourage us to eat more of natural items including it's medicine but the Western education in Nigeria has destroyed that. If people see you eating more of natural food or it medicine, they consider you as one who lacks knowledge about modern education not knowing that's the best to consume to maintain normal body language.

You and your parents seem pretty smart then to stick to natural things. Unfortunately yes Western education seems to ruin a lot of good and natural things. We always seem to want to simulate nature rather than be part of it. We have buildings with forests in the side of them here. Rather than people just going to the forest they go to a building to experience it. I mean I understand not everyone can travel to far off distances. But nature is all around us and it's bounty and beauty is everywhere.
