I live within a hike of the sea - the Irish Sea.
This is arguably the most poluted saline water in the world, thanks to several nuclear reactors, more than a few sewerage outlets and too many other poluting agents .
Shellfish - no thanks!
The filterfeeders are all dying thanks to polution and limpets are foul to start with.
I will stick with inland food - but the game is all gone or in Nature Reserves, or - if you think of fish - so rare you need a license to catch them to throw them back. Or they are farm animals.....
So that leaves plants.
Around field edges they are covered either in fertiliser or the governments prefered poisons, or both. The bl00dy squirrels have had all the nuts, the berries are rotting thanks to the global warming induced rain and the death of all the bees means that nowt else has fruited......
I am getting hungry now...so I reckon that tea time has arrived and my "living off the land" has become "living off Tescos" again!
When the end of civilisation comes then I will stand a better chance as I will not get in trouble for eating those dole scroungers who will at last have a reason for being.
I have no moral problems with canibalism.
Mind you with the level of polution in their bodies I may have to think of them as toxic....still!
:tapedshut
I am kidding - honest.
I think I could do OK for long enough to start farming and surviving at a subsistance level...
