HUNTER GATHERER SHOPPER 🦌🧺🍪

OCTOBER 20 2024

(JULY 26 2024 MAKE UP)

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

ANIMALES = “ANIMALS” IN SPANISH 🇪🇸

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today I want to talk about food… again 🤪

I am not talking what we eat today but how we get our food that we eat

The vast majority of humans that have ever existed did not have grocery stores that provide everything one may desire to make their meals for the day/week/month.

The ability to acquire the water and food from the land and land animals was something that everyone could do and also had to do.

If you were not getting your food yourself historically you were either a young child or when others were hunting and or gathering you would be doing something that would assist those who supplied your meal (maybe preparing and serving the food or it was your job to retrieve buckets of water in the morning so others had something available to drink)

If you could not join the hunting party for some reason you might find yourself apart of the group that while others are hunting you are searching for and gathering things you could eat that only requires the ability to pluck from the ground/bush/tree an edible item and place what you plucked into what you would be using to carry back what you gathered (maybe fill a basket with a variety of fruit, vegetables and edible plants that would compliment the meat provided by the hunters so everyone contributed to a balanced meal)

If you were not hunting, gathering or supporting your family/tribe/community you probably had a reason that made this not possible in a way that you and everyone else would rather be doing what those comtributing were doing but could not (maybe the person was born without the ability to ever walk and had to be extra creative when contributing in a meaningful way that was useful) My point here is that those not helping would help if they could and those having to “work” would rather work than having to trade places with the person who can’t walk

I know you aren’t buying your food yourself right now but one day you will and you will more than likely go about getting your food in a way that maybe less than 1% of humans ever have historically

I am grateful we have evolved as humans and that I live in a place that you do not need to hunt and gather out of necessity but those who choose to still do this are likely doing things that way for reasons that buying their meals from a store is not a desirable option

If you have your groceries delivered and cook your own meal you have done less for that meal to be possible than a number of people that might surprise you

If you don’t know where your food was sourced because you never thought about it or cared to find out you might be horrified to find out the process used to make your food appear in your fridge came at the cost of an animal suffering in a way that you would not support.

The food that is not an animal product could also be provided to the store you requested your groceries from by people working in conditions that were cruel or maybe the effort required to attempt to prevent your food from becoming unsafe to eat was not a consideration

A meal that has only 3 ingredients could have so many negative things attached to it you would not want to spend a single penny on it and certainly not take a bite

Imagine eggs from chickens that spent the majority of their life in crowded cages not big enough to separate where they eat and poop, bacon from a farm that has sick pigs that they know could get you sick but allow the meat to find its way to your plate because it would cause the farm to make less money by treating and preventing future illness, and a slice of toast that comes from a company that is not rumored but proven to exploit those who harvest the grain by choosing a location to grow and harvest crops that does not have laws and regulations that try to prevent people from being in conditions that are not safe and the knowledge the irresponsible company pays the workers less than what would be needed to even afford the crops they grew and harvested if they were to buy the final product at your preferred grocery store

If you do not have to hunt or gather your food, consider hunting and gathering in another way. Gather information about where your food comes from. Hunt for options that make you feel good about the process that brought the food to the grocery store.

Now as a shopper you are in a way contributing to a meal that can be appreciated by others
