I lecture on wild food frequently, discussing various issues that concern this subject to a wide variety of people.  For years, the information was received with interest and people appreciated learning about this part of our collective human history and what wild food can mean for human and ecosystem health.  In the last year or so, there has been an increasing number of criticisms about the message of wild food.  While these arguments center on important social issues, they are representative of a broader narrative that has become very pervasive and sometimes applied to topics that may not be core to the subject of privilege and power.
