They stole the idea from some parrots that invented it.
Parrots also invented language. Little known fact that we parroted them before they parroted us. One of the more cruelly ironic names humans have given to things

The first batch tasted only faintly of nettles, surprisingly tasteless as I think Fergus said. Like tofu. The second batch (pictured), which I pressed more water out of, tasted of nettles and seaweed but not strongly. I have quite a high tolerance for unpleasant flavours so I may be understating it

Sounds good your experiments are interesting iff only off we could extract fat from leaves that be awesome plus a few game animals.

I did feel slightly ill after eating it each time, but that was nothing to do with the taste. I have two possible explanations: contaminants from the poured cement paving slab I mashed them against or vitamin overdose in combination with the vitamins I take (iron, multi, B12). Probably the first explanation is the likelier

Well couldn't nuts supply enough fat? Or sunflower seeds? Rape? No idea about that. I haven't eaten meat in years. I might eat roadkill but would prefer not to hunt or fish if I can help it. Skinned a road-killed squirrel for its hide and wouldve eaten the meat if I knew it was safe, but wasnt sure. Any ideas there?

If you want an alternative to meat, in the UK, by foraging, then you need to beat the squirrels to the nuts. Or you could guerilla plant beans and peas.

I'm an old fashioned vegetarian, I still 'food combine' to make a complete protein to my meals.
So, grains and nuts, or grains and legumes, or legumes and nuts.

We know now that the body doesn't need to get it all the bits of the protein at one sitting, but after all these years, it's kind of instinctive habit now.

Yes but cholesterol is important despite what others will say or doctors cry against, its converted to testosterone.

Bentonite clay is used to absorb pollutants and toxins, to ease diarrhoea.....and make facemasks.

Did it not gum up your guts ?

Guerilla gardening is an idea. And surprisingly (though irrelevantly I suppose) there are still remnants - pathetic slivers - of commons where it remains at least technically legal. As long as the plants don't form a continuous barrier.

Actually removing protein from plants would be a useful process, as I understand it is not extremely complicated but not trivial either, industrial processes exist to do that.
