late Posted July 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2019 What can produce in one acre " more protein than 3,000 acres of cattle or 130 acres of soybeans" What can lower our carbon footprint by eating waste, food waste, pig waste, human waste, even somewhat toxic waste like distillery waste? So what can produce millions of tons of protein while actually lowering our carbon footprint? You're gonna love this one.

Page Turner Posted July 14, 2019 Share #9 Posted July 14, 2019 The tribes western neighbors, the Yokuts, called them 'monachie' meaning 'fly people' because their staple food was fly larvae The Mono Indians ate anything that walked , flew, or crawled including: grasshoppers, ants, and larvae, they also ate fly-bread. The mono did not have livestock or practice agriculture. Rather than consult a calender, they looked to nature for signs as the song of a certain bird or the emergence of catkins on the elm that told them signs it was time to hunt or gather. https://sites.google.com/a/student.fallcreek.k12.wi.us/native-americans-of-the-great-basin/learn-more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
