A vegetarian lifestyle is much healthier than eating red meats, greasy foods and all the chemicals in the food today. Science is even considering linking Alzheimer's to excess meat consumption.

As an herbalist, I simply love to abandon the confines of the house and escape to the wilds of meadow and forest. If you’re like me -- prone to wandering around in the woods for hours at a time and nibbling on anything that looks half-way tender -- you might have come across young Solomon’s Seal shoots (Polygonatum bi-florum). These poke through the forest-floor mast in early, early spring and look less like asparagus than they do little slender whorls of green. They tend to have a greenish/bluish/grayish cast about them, and are usually smaller than the diameter of your finger.

Ready for another seldom-discovered edible treat from Mother Nature? Another edible treasure you should look for in the woods is the creamy white blossom of the honey locust tree. I love this tree. It’s useful for firewood, for fencing, and (though not many people know it), for wild dining. The mature tree produces white flowers that form a sort of drooping cluster, much like wisteria, that will cover the tree in the mid-to-late summer, depending on your location.
