    1. There’s not enough for everyone to forage, passing laws allowing everyone to forage would be like a swarm of locusts that the environment might no bounce back from. Wild animals can’t just go to Aldi’s if hipsters “foraged” all the food.

    2. These days you can’t really trust foraged food due to all the pollution

        The only mention of foraging is berries in Norway, and that doesn’t even include every kind of berry…

        Wild berry foraging is part of the right. Picking cloudberries may, however, be restricted on privately owned land in northern parts of Norway.[

          There are in practice very few restrictions in Scandinavia. It only works because the population density and rate of abuse is low.

            That’s not what your source says…

            And it’s not even what you claimed the source said originally…

            I get you’re the mod and this is your sub, but you’re just saying random shit that’s factually untrue.
