Mmmm. The power of the turkey tail! This is one of my favorite mushrooms, I've helped a few friends with harvesting locally. I need to get out and do so for my own self at some point.
Your quote about a well nourished populace is so very true, imo. Frankly, without proper nourishment, one cannot make decisions with their best capacity. People are weaker in all aspects when they are under nourished. The food industry and the pharmaceutical industry... well... I'm sure you know where that goes. ;)
Great post:)
