  • 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 & 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬!🌱🌳🍄 Did you know that at the beginning of WW2 the UK importanted around 70% of its food! These big shipments quickly found themselves at the bottom of the ocean 🚢💣💥
    So what did the people do? They learnt how to grow vegetables & forage for wild food & medicine!🥗
    𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 is incredible. Imported tea was replaced by herbal teas & even coffee was replaced by alternatives such as beech nut coffee or dandelion root coffee... ☕
    Nettles replaced spinach 🌱
    🍲 Leaves & roots bulked up stews and soups
    Apples preserved in chutneys 🍎
    🍓Fruits squished into jams
    🌰 Acorns were used to make flour
    Foxgloves gave us heart medication 🌸
    ☠️ Even Deadly nightshade was used to make eye medicine!!
    🌸💮🏵️🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🌲🌳🌴🌿

    Imagine everyone with a garden started growing food, how cheap and abundant food would become. Strange that the government doesn't encourage this more, given that an ever-increasing number in the UK are struggling financially.

      There is a element of control over people, if you control the food supply. If everyone was self sufficient there would be no need for most government agencies.

    My goodness! This is such a wonderful video chock-full of helpful information. My dad served as a corpsman during WWII and it was a bitter war as you certainly illustrated here. There is so much information I was unaware of, especially how the Nazis tried to use food as a weapon to starve your country. Many of your plants are native here, which is wonderful. I used to go out and search for wild mushrooms and ginseng root with my dad. We would often bring home sassafras root as well. Americans didn't have quite the food shortages you did but we still had to ration food. We rationed sugar until 1947 but most other items were available again, though often not affordable. I lived on a dairy farm, so we grew all our food. I think it is smart for people to grow their own food and forage. Great information!

    My granddad lied about his age to sign up aged 17 and spent most of the war serving on the destroyers guarding food convoys in the North Atlantic, while Nanny (who had only just left school) went to work in a munitions factory and had a 2nd job as a night dispatcher for the Birmingham Fire Service, dispatching ambulances and fire trucks to bombed areas during air raids. So proud of them both.

    This is lovely. It takes me back to my childhood when I foraged with my parents who were both born before the war and grew up with foraging and partially passed that onto me. There were damsons, elderberry, hazelnut, blackberry, apple, that grew in the hedgerows locally. Mum made pies and jams from them that we ate in the winter

      Actually Elohim (The Powerful Ones - AKA Aliens) did when they set up their experiment on this planet. They needed to feed the slave race so they have the energy to work for them.
      The one you call Yahuah (no idea where you got that name from) was called Enlil by the ancient Sumerians, Seth by the Egyptians and YHWH by the Adamites (that's the slave race that they genetically engineered in their image). Btw, Enlil was the evil one that wanted humanity enslaved and dumbed down so they don't realise they're slaves and don't rebel against them.
