Respectfully, 3DM, I invite you to get educated on the abundance of wild, edible weeds, roots, and berries. There is a veritable FEAST in a jungle. There's even a feast in your back yard! No, you most definitely wouldn't need meat to survive. There is plenty of food available! But unfortunately, most people are ignorant of it. Look at how people kill their dandelions, in favor of a perfect lawn. Dandelions! One of the most nutritious and prolific edible weeds.

Nah, acorns are all over the ground, in abundance, just waiting to be picked up! In fact, the Native Americans relied on acorns as a staple food! They knew how to rinse out the bitter tannins to make them edible for humans. Now, driving thru town, I see acorns all over people's yards and in the streets, being crushed. It's painfully sad to see such a waste.
