The 33-year-old spent up to 80 hours a week foraging and growing hundreds of items to feed himself.
spoke to Greenfield about his experiences, and what he learned from a year abstaining from grocery stores and restaurants.I've been exploring food for nearly a decade and since the beginning I've had the burning question.
Perhaps half of my food came from my gardens. I foraged in woods, prairies, lakes, rivers, the ocean, public parks and abandoned lots, to name a few places.I didn't find any of my foraging to be unusual. The earth is my home and I feel quite at home here.Rob GreenfieldI often worked 40 to 80 hours per week to plant, harvest and maintain the gardens, forage foods, cook, preserve and clean dishes. It's safe to say it was a very demanding full-time endeavor.
You say nature was your pharmacy. Were there exceptions so you could stop the challenge in case you needed serious medical help? I am not vegan. I think for some people veganism can be a great way to live in harmony, but overall I don't endorse the globalized food system that most vegan diets depend on. I am more of a proponent for local, regenerative food systems that include animals. I'm a big proponent of eating a very plant-based diet, but I don't believe 100 percent is necessary, nor what the entire world needs.
