I have recieved two new books from Amazon as part of my research, one on hunter/gatherers and another on prehistoric man around the Isles of Western Scotland, this was mainly because I love the Isles and I am interesting in the history of this area and hope to investigate more as the years go on.
I feel these will help me understand the way of life compared to the way we live now. I watched Human Planet last night and tribes people far and wide still go out to collect food, some travelled six miles to get just to the area to hunt, obviously there is no obesity and these people do have times where they go hungry, so life is not idillic. But I feel they are far more in touch with the land and understand the seasons, more at one with the planet. Have we lost our way? I feel that we have lost our way, this country has changed so much and not for the better, would returning to nature and becoming gatherers again help us? would it help me.. I am overwieght, would changing the way I shop help, or going looking for food in the woods? I wouldnt expect to feed the whole family but maybe some mushrooms and wild garlic would be nice.
Lots of questions on a Saturday... have a great weekend...
