So do you eat your fries with mayonaise?

Perhaps not copy everything. :P

The thing I actually hate the most is the whole enclosure of the commons/foraging is illegal (or at least super gray area) thing. I'm an immigrant and I don't want to go back, so I'm not about to see how far I can bend the law. But I also know there's so much food that could be grown in the city and so much that could even be collected right now.

The Netherlands seems super domesticated.

Leave it up to the Dutch to head into the wilderness with only a package of oreos.

And what's the deal with corn? In the summer I saw single or groups of two or three corn plants, not dense enough to pollinate, too short to have been started inside. Do y'all grow it as an ornamental or do y'all not know how corn works?

Also the one food forest I've found needs a goat.

I take it you're in one of the cities then? I'm in Amsterdam.

I'm from around the area of giethoorn. Lots of water!

About the corn. I don't know. Maybe it's a field used for research? I've seen some of those and they do weird things.
