According to the Wall Street Journal, more and more people are beginning to eat weeds.
Really?
Do you really want to eat something called a weed? It’s bad enough that people eat fungus, but a weed?
These unfortunate step-children of the vegetable world get in the way of some of the best purposes of vegetation. Namely, aesthetics and comfort. Flower gardens are a thing of beauty after the weeds have been pulled, and few things feel better than fresh grass under your feet.
How can someone look at a field pockmarked with dandelions and get hungry?
Now a field of real lions is a whole different story…
