Today is the first day of my new blog. My name is Taylor and I am a(n) (insert your label here). I like to cook with simple ingredients. My attention span is short. I like to try new things. I appreciate old things. I like to eat wild foods. I like to eat homegrown. I like to eat locally farmed foods. I like to eat exotic import foods. But I love to eat feral foods.
Some definitions via wikipedia :
Domestication (from Latin domesticus) or taming is the process whereby a population of animals or plants, through a process of selection, becomes accustomed to human provision and control.
A pet is an animal kept for companionship and enjoyment or a household animal, as opposed to wild animals or to livestock, laboratory animals, working animals or sport animals, which are kept for economic or productive reasons.
Why ? Because it provides a balance of autonomy between species, and holds potential for beneficial relationships. It's also less work to take care of feral animals and plants than their domesticated doppelgangers. Feral plants and animals are more adept to human management than their fully wild counterparts, and could pose a threat to wild species if their needs are not understood and met.
What is native? How long does it take to establish residency ? What constitutes invasive ? Is it invasive to economic interests, or ecological interests ? These are some questions I like to ask myself to make myself seem smart and interesting. Normally I won't be this boring, I promise it will be mostly pictures.
