You can also eat a little bit of wood sorrel, sow Thistle, wild lettuce, catnip, and hollyhock leaf, hollyhock flowers.

😂

Haven't laughed in a while this genuinely made me 😂

If you're homeless on the streets, folks will throw all kinds of food at you - to trade for dope and booze.

Even if you do not waste unimportant expanses on things like vegetables. (I mean, they are costly here)

For real.

LOL that's SO true

I'm no animal

Thats because for a very long time people have been conditioned to believe that if a plant isn't grass than it must be a weed and needs to go. When I learned the benefits of letting the dandelions grow it naturally transformed my yard in a positive way.

Use to eat them all the time as a child.

The government doesn't want us eating healthy food. They want us eating processed junk, so we get sick and dependent on Rx drugs. $$$ motive.

The health and pharmaceutical industry is who says it's a weed. They make money off sick people not healthy ones. And isn't it something that Roundup the weed killer causes cancer and this so called weed helps prevent it. This world is so backwards. The old ways are the best for a reason

because it was

It's not. Some common garden flowers will kill you or worse. But I've been eating dandelion flowers for years so can't complain.

@@TheUberdude187 what’s worse than dying😩

@@TheUberdude187 how do you eat it? Can you eat the flower or the other part

@@cherryvoss2450 a long painful approach to death, I'd wager, or ending up making others die along with you by misinformation that they can eat it. One dude claimed a certain mushroom wasn't toxic, fed it to his family, and they all died horribly painful deaths.

Lol🤣 i might try that.

When we were kids I had a friend who was convinced sloe berries were deadly nightshade, so I ate one and pretended to die. Even when I explained it was a joke he was still freaking trying to get an ambulance.

Sounds great!

Go on......Send me some!

I’ve literally just seen someone on You Tube make this in her kitchen, complete with Medjool dates.

It is a Herb by my book or is it just a wild and crazy pretty flower ? anyway is edible and very good for the Liver and other Organs it tones and Cleanses.

a weed is a plant in a place we dont want it...a tree can be a weed in some cases

It's contextual.

It is if roll them in paper and start smoking it

Fuck I cant smoke it but I can eat it

YES! Really great properties for gut health, too

I actually had a chat with my GP about nutrition and it was astonishing how little he knew.

I worked alongside a Gp who thought they were pointless.

They don't know anything about health, being healthy and nutrition. They are big pharma sale reps, who know to only keep a patient dependent on toxic meds, instead of trying to make them healthy and curing them. That's what a doctor used to do in the past, now they are licensed murderers and big pharma sale reps.

@@feroze2887 mhmm they all learn from the same book

All the medical schools that train our doctors-to-be are owned by the pharmaceuticals. They teach what pharmaceutical drugs should be given for which complaint/ illness. Gone, sadly, are the days when medical schools taught young doctors about health and nutrition. Fact: no-one ever died from a pharmaceutical drug deficiency, but plenty have died because of nutritional deficiencies. Research Lugol’s Iodine; up until the 1930s, this was the standard treatment for everything from depression to arthritis (partly due to its stimulatory effect on the thyroid, which depends on sufficient iodine for optimum function). Then along came the pharmaceuticals’ first antibiotics, and iodine was demonised to facilitate dependence and demand for profit-making drugs. Pretty much all natural medicine is demonised by allopathic (western) medicine. I once told my GP that doctors these days, because the syllabus taught in all med schools is set by pharmaceutical companies, are essentially drug reps. She sadly agreed. - This was shortly after I’d reversed the raging osteoporosis I’d been left with after oestrogen breast cancer “treatments”. I used D3, Vit K2, silica, magnesium (too much calcium on its own makes bones brittle, - denser, but brittle, and there was enough extra calcium coming from the high dose D3, with the K2 sending it to bones and teeth, without taking an extra calcium supplement) and 2 different DEXAS done at 2 different hospitals showed the reversal clearly. My GP looked at the scans and said, “You do know you’re not supposed to be able to reverse osteoporosis, don’t you? We’re taught at med school that you can’t do anything about it.” She’d had me on AdCalD3 for the previous 5 years or so, which is a pharmaceutical drug with a nasty and ineffective D3 analog drug that does nothing positive in the body, and the osteoporosis had gone on getting worse and worse. After starting the D3, K2 (etc.) regime I’d set myself, I had a DEXA scan 3 months later that showed the deterioration had apparently stopped. I continued with my D3 and K2 (etc.) and had another scan 6 months after that, then another a week later at a different hospital (I’d been accidentally booked into 2 different hospitals and didn’t see any reason to alert them to that fact; I was curious to see as many DEXA results as possible - usually, I’m restricted to one DEXA every 3 years.) Those 2 scans showed that not only had the deterioration stopped, but I had by then one completely normal hip. That was about 8 years ago. I still take D3, K2, silica, magnesium, etc., and despite being 13 years past the chemically-induced menopause (chemo) and now at the age when it seems medically expected that osteoporosis would be raging ever onward, my last few DEXAs have continued to show stability if not actual improvement. She’s also seen me lower my HbA1C numbers (caused by unavoidable long-term steroids) via particular nutrients and herbal supplements, all based on research papers I find on PubMed; greatly reduce my dry eyes (chemo damage) by taking Lugol’s Iodine; fix gastritis and acid reflux with Fenugreek, and other various ailments fixed through nutritional therapy and natural medicine. Her knee-jerk reaction to any ailment I present with is to suggest a drug, but she will at lest give me 3 month’s grace in which to test whichever natural medicine theory I’ve come up with, which is more than most allopathic doctors will do these days. I’m about to go and fetch some dandelions from the garden, and we’ll have them at dinner tonight. Always good to find interesting re-discovered sources of healthy plants. Can’t wait to tell my GP about the beneficial effects!

If plants became self sowing there wouldn't be any gardeners.

Denis Mutabazi Plants reproduce sexually and spread their seeds through various means and there are still gardeners.

@@denismutabazi how do you think plants been doing there thing for millions of years?

@@denismutabazi Food forest.

So gardeners and plants are in competition with each other?

LOL, *doctor quickly Googles response* 😂

A weed is a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered!

@@peterbulloch4328 Yeah that's what I said 😉

I am prepping mine right now. I've only just managed to get some as I had to wait ages for my pectin to arrive (today) and someone mowed the lawn around here literally right before I could forage D:

Little Wolf Taima: How selfish of them! 😉🌱🇬🇧

Dandelion Honey sounds delicious!

Lol 😂

He likes to party

I love pine needle tea, it is citrusy

@@joshuavucic9155 he ruined are salad

I thought I was the only one that realize that 😂🥒🤷🏽‍♂️

Looks like the flower might be a prop for something else. 😁

Isn't every plant a vital food source for bees?

Ooo that sounds like a great idea!!

Yessss it does

Yesssss my whole front yard and backyard is filled with them just leave the yard bare no pesticides and u bet dangelions will grow crazy

Yup a super food

Makes a great jelly!

Just make sure they don't have any pesticides on them

kaydenpat same but it’s in my front yard no pesticides

Roasting the roots, grinding them, makes a delicious tea.

They turn fluffy and white once they die. Those fluffy bits are the seeds! They wont taste very good at that stage

Thank you

Eat them you will feel stronger.

I live in Texas! Most of the people here have too many pounds! Lol!

@@earnesteverman9913 we're in N.Y. farmland in Catskill Mountains so I hear you.images.app.goo.gl/yZpBfZqLj1svruhf7

WOW, sending positive energy your way! Great biz idea!

Why?

@@Funhaus_Ryan maybe because it’s a diuretic 🤔 and a laxative 🙃 that’s my guess

Boil/steam them twice and drain the water. That takes away the bitterness. Use atleast 8 cups of water.

Girl + mullet = gullet

if your vegetables are stinky, youre doing it wrong.

What vegetables stink up your house? Lol. I cooked cabbage once at my bfs and he freaked out

I've been surviving on them for 5 months.they control hunger.

@@jonathanmoreno3224 they do

My kids will have this memory

@@cherryvoss2450 good same with me pass it all down knowledge

She is Elizabeth Warren's sister.

There's probably a McDonald's nearby. Who can resist? xD And then she eats the dandelions to cleanse all the chemicals. Too bad it doesn't get rid of the fat as well.

Flatweed is a toxic look alike. Kills cows. Google it.

How do you know if she is healthy or not.

@@feroze2887 because I don't build my life around political correctness. Fun Fat Fact: Fat people are statistically less healthy. Doctors often recommend weight loss; they never tell you that you should try to get fat.

Keep away from Hogweed though, that stuff seriously screws people up!

The French word for dandelion is pissenlit which means just that, so y’all had the same idea!

Studies have been done. Just because you have not seen them doesn't mean they haven't been done Mainstream science and health advice won't teach you anything that's natural and good for you . Why would pharmaceutical companies want you to be healthy? Thats like a drug dealer advising against drugs .

@@davelewis649 I used to supply "medicines" to friends and advise them not to abuse them too much, that is why I'm not rich 🙄. I know how big corporations work though thanks. Can you link me to reputable studies about this?
